Idasa to Close Cape Town Office

As previously reported by West Cape News, Western Cape-based organisation Rape Crisis has had to pull back its operations, and now the Institute for Democracy in South Africa (Idasa) is being forced to lay-off almost half of its long-time staff in their Cape Town and Johannesburg offices.

The organisation's executive director, Paul Graham, says that they are on the downstream of the ‘massive economic slump’ in Europe and North America where the majority of their funding came from.

Idasa promotes sustainable democratic societies in collaboration with African and global partners.
