On 1 December 1998 the Programme for Development Research (PRODDER) at
the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) will be launching the new
edition of its annual development directory which focuses on South
African development organisations. The objective of this publication
is to support the South African development process with a
comprehensive overview of the activities of the country's development
roleplayers.

This directory consists of background chapters and a listing of
development-related organisations involved in the South African
development process. The 2514 organisations covered by this
publication include national and provincial government departments,
parastatals, research institutions, diplomatic representation, CSI
programmes, NGOs, research institutions, development corporations and
international funding agencies. 

The largest number of listed organisations are NGOs (1612 entries).

Information covered on each organisation include the following:

Name and acronym, contact detail (postal and street address /
telephone / fax / e-mail / WWW), contact address of regional offices,
contact people, mission statement and an overview of main development
activities.

The Directory is divided into 9 provincial chapters and all entries
have been indexed according to a comprehensive list of 62
development-related keywords. Additional chapters focus on national
government ministries, provincial governments, and international
organisations and diplomatic representation in South Africa. 

A GIS dimension to this publication will enable all end-users to have
a better understanding of the spatial distribution of South African
development organisations and the issues they are addressing.

The publication includes foreword contributions by David Barnard and
Yzette Terreblanche, the editors of the publication, Geraldine
Fraser-Moleketi, Minister of Welfare and Population Development, Rev
Njongonkulu Ndungane, Archbishop of Cape Town, Michael Laidler,
Ambassador of the Delegation of the European Commission in South
Africa, Humphrey Khosa, President of the South African Chamber of
Business (SACOB), Cyril Ramaphosa, Deputy Chairperson of New Africa
Investment Limited (NAIL), Rams Ramashia, Chairperson of the South
African National NGO Coalition (SANGOCO) and Mokhethi Moshoeshoe,
Executive Director of the Southern African Grantmakers' Association
(SAGA).

This project was implemented in conjunction with the South African
National NGO Coalition (SANGOCO). Through this publication, as with
every other PRODDER Directory in the past, it is PRODDER's objective
to give the South African development sector and its roleplayers the
necessary local and international exposure needed to enhance the
development effort in the country.

Since 1987 PRODDER has published seven development directories
covering South/Southern African development roleplayers, the previous
being the edition published in November 1997.

The cost of PRODDER: The South African Development Directory 1998/9 is
as follows:

Southern Africa - R175,00 (VAT incl) + R25,00 (postage) = R200,00
