Aims and function
ISIDA's mission was to create, and research, social structures and processes that would contribute to the development of the people of South Africa. It was engaged in the creation and management of non-formal educational processes for adults and youths, as well as several initiatives which impacted the formal institutions of compulsory education in a positive way. ISIDA was involved in the establishment of highly successful industry-based training and education programmes. Through research and the publication of research findings in academic journals, books, reports, and the popular media, ISIDA intended to impact a broad spectrum of thought and action throughout South Africa.
