Across South Africa, inequality and dire living conditions remain harsh realities. In response to this, the SA SDI Alliance builds strong, organised movements of the poor who self-identify priorities and pragmatically engage government and other actors on development solutions. Supporting the creation of strong movements of the urban poor with community-organising capacity constitutes the foundation of this work. As such, our community organising work centres around three of our most important tools:

• Women-centred savings

• Community-led data collection 

• Learning exchanges
