Programme Highlight:
Party Funding Campaign

In South Africa, there is currently no regulation of private funding to political parties.  What this means is that donors can give as much as they want, in secret, to the political party of their choice. This lack of regulation of party funding may allow efforts of the wealthy to exert undue influence on a government's policy choices, and undermine the equal value of each person's vote. IDASA's Party Funding Campaign aims to build knowledge and capacity around the subject of party funding, and public awareness, and also a civil society network.
