ABSTRACT This paper gives an overview of some trends and issues for community organizations in the greater Cape Town (South Africa) area from 1989-1991. Section 1 provides first a brief overview of the sociopolitical developments during those years as a background to the developments within community organizations. Then, it discusses key issues for community organizations: definitions and purposes of community organizations; relationships between community organizations and the South African state; funding and funders; and organizational strategies, including capacity building, networking, and coalition building. This section contains 55 references. Section 2 begins with a synopsis of the findings of a survey to capture the history of the formation and demise of community organizations and then presents organizations in different sectors. These are: civic organizations; community organizations; cultural organizations; education, research, resources, and information organizations; political organizations; and women's organizations. Tables provide this information: name; aims; main activities; and contact address of the organization. An index is provided at the end for quick reference to specific organizations. (YLB)

The Community Organisation Research and Education (CORE) Project of CACE was established in 1985 in order to survey and analyse developments within community organisations in the greater Cape Town area. This series of CORE WORKING PAPERS is part of this project. Over the last seven years the proi ct has undertaken systematic collection and storage of data on community organisations, participatory research into specific aspects of policies and practices and the dissemination of findings through popular texts, academic papers, and conferences both for academics and activists.

The CORE WORKING PAPERS aim to contribute io the ongoing debates and understandings of the present and future policy and practices of community organisations in South Africa.

The CORE Project is part of the work being done by the Centre for Adult and Continuing Education (CACE) at the University of the Western Cape (UWC).

Professor Shirley WaltersDirector, CACE INTRODUCTION

Since the mid-1970s community organisations have proliferated in South Africa. The growth of these organisations reached an all time high during the latter part of the 1980s. in the face of severe repressive action by the state. Throughout South Africa there are now intricate netwoeks of community organisations which form part of the broadly defined democratic movement. One of the ironies of the years of apartheid and repression has been that they stimulated a rich and democratic tradition of people acting to change their own lives, even in a deeply hostile environment. These community organisations can be described and analysed in terms of their purposes and their functions. They have a common purpose in that they are anti-apartheid and they see their work contributing directly or indirectly .. to the transfer of state power from the white minority government to a popular. democratic government. They function in various ways to empower poor and oppressed communities. to build organs of people's power and strengthen community-based organisations and to promote democratic processes and practices. This paper gives an overview of some trends and issues for community organisations in the greater Cape Town area over the last three years. In the First s,..ction key issues that have emerged for community organisations are discussed. In the second section the detailed data on organisations is given with observations on developments within the different sectors from 1989 to 1991. The paper is based on research that has been done over the last two years. Questionnaires were sent out to 402 organisations to update information that had previously appeared in the CACE publication THE STRUGGLE FOR DEMOCRACY. A STUDY OF COMMUNITY ORGANISATIONS IN GREATER CAPE TOWN FROM THE 1960s TO 1988. This information included the name. the aims, the main activities and the contact address of the organisations. There were 210 returns after systematic telephonic follow-up to the postal questionnaires. Of the 192 non-respondents. 101 organisations had closed down. Local newspapers and newsletters were scanned on a daily basis for information on 'new organisations and for information on contextual developments which may have impacted on the life of community organisations. The newspapers included The Argus. Cape Times, Weekly Mail, South and the New Nation. The issues for community organisations have been identified through CACE's ongoing interactions with members of community organisations through the formal and nonformal training courses. through ongoing consultation and support work, and through collection of printed materials produced by members of community organisation. including conference papers. The issues that have been identified and will be discussed here are Defini ions and purposes of community organisations: Relatic nships between community organisations and the South African state: Funding 'Ind funders: Organisational strategies, including capacity building, networking. coalition building. Before addressing the issues, a brief overview of the socio- political developments within the last three years will be given as background to the developments within community organisations. A summary of the findings of the survey will also be presented in table form in section 2.
