Governance Practices of National Non-Profit Bodies and National Networking Organisations in South Africa

The Department of Social Development treats this report as a starting point in addressing the capacity needs of NPOs in South Africa. The report may be used as a tool to encourage and entrench good governance practices in the sector, not only to enhance functional ability, but also to meet the diverse service delivery needs of broader South African communities. The report recommends that government should work in partnership with the non-profit sector on a joint campaign to mobilise individuals in civil society and the private sector to offer their skills, experience and resources through service on NPO boards.
