In South Africa, an often chosen vehicle for delivery of CSR, is a nonprofit<br>intermediary organisation (an NPO). NPOs play an important transitional management role in mutual<br>value creation linking firms to CSR recipient communities. NPOs are each a specialist in a specific<br>skill or community infrastructure delivery requirement, additionally acting to highlight community<br>needs for a CSR intervention, to firms. Notwithstanding the contribution of NPOs to many developing<br>African countries economies, studies as to what criteria in their working environment facilitate the<br>NPOs to do their work as intermediaries, is limited especially for South Africa. This paper reviews<br>the legislative contextual environment of NPOs in relationships for CSR delivery with business firms<br>in South Africa highlighting how this enables both the nonprofit NPO and profit driven firm, to<br>participate in the economic development of South Africa.</p> ER -
