A new Department of Social Development policy will change the way it funds services provided by its non-profit partners. The policy is currently open for public comment. To ensure continued future state support for vital services to prevent and respond to violence, non-profits need to understand the implications and how to constructively engage with government.
The Violence Prevention Forum, in partnership with Cornerstone Economic Research, has developed five factsheets and a briefing document to help non-profits and other stakeholders understand the policy.
This seminar is jointly hosted by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) and Cornerstone Economic Research.
Moderator: Senzekile Bengu, Research Officer and Western Cape Violence Prevention Forum Coordinator, ISS
Panelists:
- Christina Nomdo, Commissioner, Western Cape Commissioner for Children
- Conrad Barberton, Senior Economist, Cornerstone Economic Research
