“There has been a better than anticipated response,” says James Taylor, the executive director, Community Development Resource Association (CDRA). He was referring to the launch last month of a survey into the practices of the National Lotteries Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF) and the National Development Agency (NDA)”, which closes for submissions on 31 March 2010. See www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/422/45039.html.
“However, we would like more civil society organisations to take part in it so that we can get an even wider cross-section of responses for the research. In addition to returning the questionnaire, organisations have sent letters of support applauding this initiative.
The four organisations behind the survey - Social Change Assistance Trust, CDRA, Inyathelo - The South African Institute for Advancement and Rural Education Access Programme have had a keen interest from the non-profit and donor sectors in South Africa.
Organisations can download the survey from the following addresses; www.cdra.org.za or www.inyathelo.co.za/news-88 or telephone Janine Ogle on tel +27 (0)21 465 6981.
