The National Development Agency (NDA) Act should be amended urgently to allow non-profit organisations to have greater influence in the budgeting and business planning processes of the Agency. This is one of the principal findings of a recent research study commissioned by the Non Profit Partnership (NPP) and the Centre for Civil Society (CCS) into the NDA Act. The research was commissioned to determine how the NDA could be strengthened to more effectively deliver on its mandate to the non-profit sector.
