NIDS-CRAM forms part of a broader project, the Coronavirus Rapid Mobile Survey (CRAM).

 

Core Partnerships

The CRAM project has a number of core partners from different universities and government departments. Importantly, the study would not be possible without the formal support of The Department of Planning Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) within the Presidency who made the National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) sampling frame available for NIDS-CRAM.

The data collection and quality control processes for NIDS-CRAM have been run by the Southern Africa Labour and Development Research Unit (SALDRU) at UCT. Operational staff for CRAM come from the Research on Socioeconomic Policy (RESEP) group at Stellenbosch University.
