Centre for Research, Information and Action in Africa

CRIAA SA-DC "is an association of development workers established in 1996 and acting on a non-profit basis. Its creation is the result of the restructuring of the French development NGO CRIAA, the Centre for Research-Information-Action for Development in Africa, at its Paris head office and Southern Africa country branches. CRIAA SA-DC has secured the continuation of CRIAA’s activities in the Region and has developed into an independent European-Southern African development and consultancy service. Its in-depth experience in the region and its ability to pull in specialists from a wide pool of expertise enable CRIAA SA-DC to undertake a variety of research and development services and, where appropriate, to organise multi-disciplinary consulting and project management teams."
