South African NGOs in the Rest of Africa

South African NGOs are increasingly engaged in activities and projects in the rest of Africa. These interventions are the result of South African NGOs' specific know-how and expertise (e.g. conflict resolution, poverty alleviation, etc.), funding arrangements with multi-country partners and objectives and most important, many African countries confronted with and/or NGOs involved in issues of common concern.

South African NGOs have much to contribute, as well as much to gain from engagement with development issues and counterparts in the rest of the continent. The experience gained and lessons learned from these interventions will ultimately strengthen and inform their work in South Africa.

Based on information shared with SANGONeT, the following South African NGOs are known to have activities in the rest of Africa:

African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD)

African Institute for Community-Driven Development (Khanya-aicdd)

Centre for Conflict Resolution (CCR)

Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation

EISA

GenderLinks

IDASA

Institute for Global Dialogue

Institute for Security Studies

If your NGO is implementing activities in the rest of Africa and/or if you are aware of South African NGOs with activities outside the borders of the country, please forward the names of these NGOs to SANGONeT.

We will add their names to the above-mentioned list and continue to highlight their contributions to development efforts in the rest of Africa.
