History

The SA/NAM Association (South Africa/Namibia Association) was founded in 1986; seated in in Brussels, it was concerned with co-ordinating, stimulating and monitoring development projects in South Africa and Namibia, which were initiated by its member organizations; funds for these projects was raised by the member organisations of SA/NAM, mostly European NGO's and anti-apartheid organisations; a list of the member organisations can be found in the appendix to this list; greater part of the funds were provided by the European Community in the European Special Programme for the Victims of Apartheid (ESP); most of the development projects in South Africa were conducted by the Kagiso Trust which was founded in 1986 by the South African Council of Churches (SACC) and the South African Bishop Conference (SABC); the projects were mainly in the fields of education, community building and culture; in Namibia the Namibia Development Trust was responsible for the projects; after the disappearance of the apartheid regime and the start of the Codesa talks the function of SA/NAM disappeared as well; the organisation was dissolved in 1993.
