The aim of this monograph is to present in distilled form some of the major findings of research undertaken by a South African team based at the School of Government at the University of the Western Cape from 2000 to 2005. The research was initially undertaken with an academic audience in mind, but has been rewritten to bring the policy issues to the fore for NGOs and those in the policymaking sphere of governance.
This monograph is funded by DFID (through the Development Research Centre on Citizenship, based at the Institute for Development Studies, University of Sussex) and the Vlaamse Interuniversitaire Raad (VLIR).
