S Afr J Econ. 2010;78(3):307-23 Authors: Krugell W, Otto H, van der Merwe J Keywords:H11;H83;O12Delivery;basic services;community survey;local government;South AfricaAbstractIn 1994, South Africa adopted the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) and emphasised the delivery of services to meet basic needs.

We use two waves of new data from the Cape Area Panel Study to investigate this link for 2,993 African and coloured youths aged 14 to 22 in 2002.
