SARPN'S WEB SITE
|
|
In the interests of debating the various themes to regional poverty, SARPN has begun to post
material from other networks on its own web page. Before doing so, SARPN obtains permission
from these organisations, who often do not have a web of their own. If organisations would
like material posted on the SARPN web please send it to us and we will consider requests for
posting. Material from some PRSP processes in SADC states has already been posted and been
accessed by readers. We would like to build that particular element of our web page into a
recognised, first stop for poverty specialists and civil society in the region.

SARPN is hosted by the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) in Pretoria. The HSRC, a
nationally-funded social science research agency, undertakes research in eight key areas,
all of which have clear developmental foci. They include governance and democracy;
integrated development; HIV/AIDS; labour market analysis; human resource development;
children, youth and family and research into various aspects of educational issues. The
HSRC is committed to undertaking applied social science that is problem solving,
multi-disciplinary, large-scale and often empirical. Its new vision is "social science that
makes a difference".

SARPN is presently funded by DFID(SA)
