CSVR is a multi-disciplinary
South African NGO. Current work includes research on state financing
of initiatives to combat violence against women - working with the
South African Women's Budget Initiative, CASE, Idasa and GETNET.
This project has three main parts:
- Assessing the national and provincial government budget allocations
for developing and implementing policies and laws related to violence
against women, and, based on their findings, running workshops
with non-profit organisations.
- Working on an early analysis of what violence against women
costs society, the state and individuals.
- Developing an advocacy strategy around the government budget
for 2002/3.

Unit national survey on non-profit organisations' accessing of government

ZWRCN's Economy and Governance
Programme (within the Policy and Community Action Department) has
two recent projects of interest:
1. National Budget Project: currently working on a situational
analysis of who is doing what on the budget process in Zimbabwe.
2. National AIDS Trust Fund (NATF) (formerly known as the
AIDS Levy Project): this seeks to (a) analyse the differential access
to, benefits and impacts of the NATF for women and men, (b) develop
a lobbying strategy to ensure monitoring of the NATF, and (c) enhance
the access to benefits and NATF for women living with HIV/AIDS (both
affected and infected). This report is now available online at http://www.zwrcn.org.zw/publications/hiv.pdf
