About this grant
The project goal is to increase the capacity of community paralegals in South Africa. To this end, the North-West University will implement vocational training programs for community paralegals. This training will be accessible for paralegals working in advice offices throughout all the provinces of South Africa. The grantee’s faculty of law has extensive experience in providing vocational training to community paralegals in South Africa. The North-West University was established in 2004 when the former University of the North West merged with the Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education.
