Inyathelo (The South African Institute for Advancement): Feasibility Study looking into the Establishment of a Human Rights Trust in South Africa.
The Atlantic Philanthropies, which currently supports a wide range of non profit organisations that promote human rights and facilitate access to justice in South Africa, is closing its operations worldwide in 2016.
As part of its exit strategy, Atlantic
has commissioned Inyathelo to investigate the feasibility of
establishing a domestic human rights trust with a challenge grant of
R50 to R60 million. To this end, Mthente developed a semi-structured
survey questionnaire plus schedules for two focus groups for both
potential donors and grantees. We held interviews with five key
informants from South African human rights trusts, as well as with ten
potential donors in South Africa and the UK.
