Civil society organisations' participation in food security activities in South Africa

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: In the context of large scale poverty and unemployment, as well as the present economic downturn, it is probable that reliance on grants will continue, if not increase. In a highly unequal society with high unemployment, this redistribution through income transfers is essential. However, it makes poor households vulnerable to national policy choices and politics. It is essential that creative and meaningful solutions are found to draw marginalised work seekers into economic participation as part of a long term poverty reduction and food security strategy.
