Funding source(s): Barrow and Geraldine S. Cadbury Trust, Barrow Cadbury Fund Ltd. Applicant overview: This file contains a number of applications from organisations and individuals operating in South Africa. The Institute for Democratic Alternatives in South Africa (IDASA) was established to promote non-racial democracy and bring about an end to the apartheid system in South Africa. Adelaide Tambo was a prominent exiled opponent of the apartheid regime in South Africa. Anthony Wilson describes her as the 'mother figure' of the nation with close links to the African National Congress. Her husband, Oliver Tambo was President of the ANC. The Zimbabwe Institute on Southern Africa (ZISA) was established by the Cold Comfort Farm Trust (CCFT) in 1988. It is an independent institution operating within the framework of the policy of the Zimbabwean Government concerning South Africa. The South Africa Economic Research Project (SAERP) was launched in 1982 with the aim of establishing a centre for socio-economic policy oriented research and documentation on South Africa. The first requirement of the SAERP is to establish the research and institutional capacity to carry out the project. Nature of support: In 1986 the Fund tentatively approved an annual grant to Tambo of £500 per annum. This was subsequently raised to £3,500 per annum for three years. That same year an initial grant of £1,000 was made to SAERP by the Trust. The Fund also approved two annual grants of £5,000 to IDASA should the organisation not prove to be wholly charitable. A number of other personal grants were also made under the South Africa umbrella. In 1987 the Trust approved £500 per annum for three years.
