State of ICTs in the South African NGO Sector 2009 [1]

Wednesday 24 February, 2010 - 16:51

The State of ICTs in the South African NGO Sector 2009 survey was conducted in 2009 by World Wide Worx, on behalf of the Southern African NGO Network (SANGONeT).

To read the full survey report, click here [2].

The objectives of the survey were to:

  • Establish the effectiveness of South African NGOs with regard to information communication technology (ICT) usage;
  • Reflect on how NGOs are using ICT in unique ways within development initiatives;
  • Establish whether ICT helps NGOs to make a positive difference in serving their constituencies;
  • Determine if NGOs are being properly served by the ICT industry;
  • Highlight the ICT resources NGOs currently have, and see how they use such resources;
  • Review the expectations NGOs have of these resources and what benefits they might gain from such resources. 

World Wide Worx interviewed decision-makers at 800 non-governmental organisations (NGOs) spread across the country, representing organisations of all sizes and interest groups.

The 80-page survey report, compiled by Arthur Goldstuck and Steven Ambrose, highlights various interesting technology trends in the South African NGO sector.

The 2009 survey was sponsored by Microsoft [3] and the National Development Agency [4] (NDA).

World Wide Worx conducted a similar survey in 2007 on behalf of SANGONeT.
