PARTNERSHIPS

The CRAM project has a number of core partners from different universities and government departments. Importantly, the study would not be possible without the formal support of The Department of Planning Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) within the Presidency who have made the National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) sampling frame available to the CRAM team.

The operational staff for CRAM come from the Research on Socioeconomic Policy (RESEP) group at Stellenbosch University, while the data collection and quality control processes have been run by the Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit (SALDRU) at UCT.

The CRAM project is proudly funded by three  donors: The Allan & Gill Gray Philanthropy, FEM Education Foundation, and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation.

In addition to the Department of Planning Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME), the CRAM project has also received formal endorsement from the National Treasury, the Department of Health and the National Planning Commission. All of these department receive regular updates on the CRAM project as and when results and information is available.

The researchers involved in the CRAM project come from the following South African universities.
