RPD Research and Policy Development


The CRL Rights Commission faces the challenge that the heritage(s) of a majority of South African communities has diminished. The CRL Rights Act, 19 of 2002 provides for the recovery of the diminished heritage(s) in order to promote and protect the rights of communities to their heritage(s). The Commission's Research and Policy Development Unit is entrusted with a huge responsibility of developing a knowledge base through research, and it is through this knowledge construction and reconstruction that the rights of communities will be safeguarded. C- R- L- Communities themselves participate and provide reliable information in respect of diminished heritage.
