A profile of poverty in the PWV Hall, Peter; Saayman, Gina; Molatedi, Dudu; Kok, Pieter This document, compiled by staff of the Development Policy and Planning Unit of the Human Sciences Research Council, presents a profile of living standards and poverty in the Pretoria-Witwatersrand-Vaal Triangle (PWV). One of the main purposes of this report is to review the state of the available information, and to highlight key gaps and shortcomings. We have not attempted to provide a comprehensive definition of poverty, but rather to present information that highlights the plight of the poor in the midst of affluence, provide a partial explanation for the inequalities that exist, and indicate the areas where policies and programmes should be directed.

Nutrition and health in South Africa: The state of nutrition and the development of nutrition policy Fincham, R.; Harrison, D.; Khosa, M.; Le Roux, I. The period preceding the April 1994 elections offers an opportunity for significant contributions to be made in policy formulation in key areas of social and economic concern. Situational analyses in particular areas such as health and education offer the platform on which to base such policies. It is with these notions in mind that this report concentrates on health and nutrition policy issues in particular, given the widespread efforts to collect data (in the broader study of which this report forms just one component) on the many-faceted nature of poverty in contemporary South Africa. This chapter sets out the aims and objectives of the study as outlined in the preface, and against the preconceptions articulated above.

Energy poverty in South Africa: Widening access to basic energy services. Van Horen, Clive; Afrane-Okese, Yaw; Eberhard, Anton; Trollip, Hilton; Wiliams, Anthony This report contains a description and analysis of the current energy consumption patterns of poor households in South Africa, and proposes a range of policies which can improve significantly the access of the poor to adequate and affordable energy services. It draws on the work of the Energy Policy Research and Training Project, a two-year policy research project involving some twenty person-years of effort, being conducted at the Energy for Development Research Centre (EDRC).
