The IDT works with its partners to alleviate poverty and stabilize communities and is especially interested in projects that will lead eventually to self-sustainability.

More information

 

Established in 1990, the Independent Development Trust supplies grants for poverty relief, infrastructure development, and services in the education, housing and welfare sectors. The Board of Trustees of the IDT, comprised of prominent South Africans, was originally funded by a R2 billion (£400 million) grant from the government. The IDT is, therefore, accountable to the South African government, although it is not required to adhere to the policies of the state and is also not associated with private businesses. It is, therefore, classified as a Quasi Non-Governmental Organization (QUANGO) by the World Bank. Since the 1994 transition to a democracy in South Africa, the agency has begun to work closely with the government and the government-owned National Development Agency.
