The Size and Scope of the Non-profit Sector in South Africa

This book discusses the results of the study about the non-profit sector in South Africa. The study was conducted by the Institute of Policy Studies at John Hopkins University in the United States and the Graduate School of Public and Development Management (P&DM) at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. An agreement between these institutions five years ago led to the launch of the South African Non-Profit Sector Study at P&DM, in association with an international comparative study based at the Center for Nonprofit Studies at Johns Hopkins University. The intention was to produce information on the entire South African non-profit sector following a standard format which would allow comparisons to be made with the non-profit sectors of other countries.
