Little Seeds is a prototype of an integrated approach to early childhood development to combat poverty, inequality, and unemployment systemically. The project is undertaken between the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC), the Uniting Reformed Church (URC), and the church-affiliated professional social service organisation, Badisa, in the Western Cape. Knowledge gained by studying the prototype intends to contribute to the development of diaconal praxis based on interdisciplinary collaboration between the church and the social service organisation. Trends in ecumenical diaconia support network-thinking, partnerships, and collaboration. Since 2002, declarations of intent for transformative involvement from the DRC in all its facades have testified to the church's commitment to contribute to a better life for everyone in South Africa. However, it appears in practice that the impact of the DRC's response is limited by a disposition for separate operatives between the different forms of ecclesiastical diaconate. An outdated 1994 diaconal policy in the DRC supports this silo approach and allows an ecclesiocentric focus of the diaconate. The development of a missional theology and accompanying ecclesiology necessitates the DRC to rethink its diaconal theology and practices within this framework. The scope and complexity of socio-economic realities convinced the DRC of the realisation that the church can no longer work in isolation but should at least explore interdisciplinary capabilities within its own ranks. Interdisciplinary collaboration is likely to help the DRC to get out of the groove of its traditional short-term, charity approach to the relief of need. Experiences elsewhere in the world indicate that there are challenges in attempts to collaborate between local congregations and social service organisations. Research in this respect in South Africa is limited. A Research Strategy for Missional Transformation in 2018 places prototypes such as Little Seeds in a position to contribute significantly to the development of knowledge and practices.
