Abstract

This policy brief presents research findings to inform the policy debate around public funding of CAOs in South Africa. It draws from a large study conducted in mid-2014 by the HSRC, which included field visits, staff focus group discussions and key staff interviews at 19 CAOs in five provinces, as well as 186 interviews with individual CAO service users (Davids et al. 2014).
