Current Projects HAALSA-HARPS The Health and Aging in Africa: Longitudinal Studies in South Africa - Health, Aging & Retirement Panel Study (HAALSA-HARPS) is a new South African study on health and aging whose implementation is being led by SALDRU. Siyaphambili Post-school Research Initiative Siyaphambili, ‘we are moving forward’, is a hub for post-compulsory education information and research. Youth In our endeavours to meaningfully engage with the key challenges facing South Africa, SALDRU's youth focus is a response to the need for evidence-based interventions that aim to empower youth and to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty. J-PAL Africa Based within SALDRU at the University of Cape Town's School of Economics, J-PAL Africa works closely with governments and NGOs to improve the effectiveness of social policy by evaluating “real life” programmes, training others to do the same, and partnering with governments and NGOs to help them integrate knowledge of what does, or does not, work into their development strategies.
