City support programme: a survey of corruption issues: 2013: tabulation report

Abstract

The City Support Programme project is an initiative of National Treasury to address spatial inequalities and development challenges at the city level. In collaboration with key government departments, the project aims to harness human, financial and institutional capacity to improve planning, implementation and innovation in order to ensure that cities are more inclusive and liveable, productive, and environmentally, financially and economically efficient, while also being resilient to change. This project covers areas of governance relating to citizen engagement, counter corruption in the metros as well as social and environmental management.

In this project, determining public attitudes on these issues are important since they reflected the beliefs, desires, fears and preferences of citizens. One part of the project entailed the use of the South African Social Attitudes Survey (SASAS, www.hsrc.ac.za/sasas) to determine public perceptions regarding public perception on corruption issues. National results from the survey as well as cross tabulations with key variables are presented in this report. 1.1. The Research Universe
