Welcome to CASASP
The Centre for the Analysis of South African Social Policy (CASASP), based in the Oxford Institute of Social Policy at the University of Oxford, aims to assist in the eradication of poverty and building of citizenship in South Africa through high quality evidence-based social policy research and training with an international comparative dimension.
CASASP endeavours to achieve this mission in partnership with the South African Government, academic institutions, and non-government agencies who share our approach.

The first of the annual ‘Zola Skweyiya Lecture on South African Social Policy’ was given by His Excellency High Commissioner Dr Zola Skweyiya at the Department of Social Policy and Intervention on 17th of May. We were honoured that Dr Skweyiya could give the inaugural lecture named for him in recognition of the outstanding contribution that he made as Minister for Social Development in South Africa, both in promoting the development of a comprehensive social security system in South Africa and also in promoting and supporting the development of social policy as an area of study in South African academia.
