The NDA trained a total number of 1114 CSOs on institutional management and governance in an effort to prevent collapse of these
organisations. These suite of capacity building interventions which include financial management, project management and
institutional governance, amongst others, have sharpened the civil society organisations as they play a fundamental role in fighting
poverty, unemployment and inequalities in poverty stricken communities.
The budget of R7,8 million set aside for grant funding has been fully utilised towards the funding of CSOs implementing a variety of
developmental projects on food security, sewing, early childhood development and a range of other income generation projects.
The NDA successfully implemented the CARA Programme. This programme is aimed at fighting the scourge of gender-based violence
and femicide through funding of 312 CSOs to the value of R85, 6million. Participating CSOs ensure that GBV survivors have improved
access to care, support, prevention services and quick access to the justice system.
The NDA implemented the volunteer programme in direct response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The NDA entered into a partnership with
200 CSOs to implement the Volunteer Programme that enlisted 2049 volunteers. The volunteer reached and interacted with over 211
171 households, distributed 73 581 food parcels to vulnerable households and assisted 171 289 people to apply for the Social Relief
