[SN-ANNOUNCE] Organising and Mobilising People's Political and EconomicParticipation at a Local Level

[Studies in Poverty and Inequality Institute]

TO ALL SANGONeT USERS 

Organising and Mobilising People's Political and Economic Participation at a
Local Level

Structural transformation can only occur if rooted in grass roots agency and
organisation. Do we require new methods of organising at a local level in
South Africa?

Sumangala Damodaran is an activist who has worked in Kerala and now works
for the Government of India on the dynamics between informal employment and
poverty and inequality in India. While she will not be able to answer our
question for us, she will certainly be able to provide us with useful
insights and challenges from her current and past work.

Studies in Poverty and Inequality Institute has great pleasure in inviting
you to a dynamic discussion with Sumangala Damodaran at Gauteng Provincial
Legislature Committee Room C on 19 June from 17h30.

Please RSVP by 18 June 2008 to Fortunate Mabuza at fortunate at spii.org.za or
on 011 833 0161.
