Description
The Programme to Support Pro-Poor Policy Development (PSPPD) in South Africa is an initiative that aims at enabling policy makers to improve their ability to formulate policies, as well as more effectively and efficiently target future interventions within their scope of work. The PSPPD is a complementary programme to the National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS), the South African panel study. The NIDS dataset will be used to further build the evidence-base in social science research.
Company description
Within this context the purpose of this programme is to develop a cadre of researchers and policy-makers who will have a deeper understanding of households dynamics (including those that relate to poverty and the measurement thereof) to enable more informed, evidence-based policy making and associated interventions at national level. The Programme also sets out to improve capacity-building, related to the purpose above, in relevant government departments and in the research community more broadly. The overall objective of the Programme is to contribute towards the efficacy of public policy interventions in household economies in South Africa with the aim of improving service delivery and the achievement of economic and social development goals in South Africa.
