| Abstract | The conference known as 'Carnegie III', held in September 2012 at the University of Cape Town (UCT), was officially called 'Strategies to Overcome Poverty and Inequality: Towards Carnegie III'. Carnegie III is unlike the previous two Carnegie inquiries - which described the problem of poverty in South Africa in the 20th century - in two respects. Firstly, the third Carnegie inquiry is concerned not only with poverty, but also with the seemingly intractable and growing inequality in South African society. Secondly, it intends to go beyond describing the problem, by exploring solutions. 'Towards Carnegie III' was so termed as it was understood that the conference was the beginning of a research process, rather than the presentation of the findings of a completed process. Taking the National Development Plan of the National planning Commission (NPC) as a starting point, participants were asked to contribute current research and reflections on practice which responded to the challenges posed therein. |
