Government of South Africa - National Treasury - International Development Cooperation

Published purpose

The Capacity Building Technical Assistance Fund (CBTAF) supports South African initiatives to improve governance. More specifically, it helps build accountable public institutions and improve the capacity of government departments to deliver services. The goal of this project is to contribute to improved service delivery, particularly for poor and vulnerable populations in South Africa in support of the South African Government's Program of Action. The project provides technical assistance learning exchanges between civil society organizations and government departments, as well as government-to-government exchanges (South-South and between South Africa and Canada). The project also provides direct support to the Technical Assistance Unit of the South African National Treasury. The mandate of the Technical Assistance Unit is to improve the sustainable management of public finances through the provision of technical assistance and management support to other government departments (national, provincial and local).
