CPRC South Africa

CPRC’s work in South Africa is led by the Programme for Land and Agrarian Studies (PLAAS) at the University of the Western Cape, and coordinated by Associate Professor Andries du Toit.

PLAAS’s research on poverty and chronic poverty intends to inform policymaking by grounding debate in a detailed understanding of the livelihood activities and strategies of poor and vulnerable people, and the ways in which those livelihoods are embedded in the broader political economy of South Africa. Its research is directed particularly at understanding the links between chronic and structural poverty.
