NGOs, NPOs, and any other non-local organisations were vital to the reblocking process including social opportunities as they often have access to greater resources.  These organisations are site specific, but some of the organisations we worked with in Flamingo Crescent operate nationally across in South Africa.

CORC and ISN play a lead role in the reblocking process as they mobilized the community leadership and facilitate communication between those leaders and the government.

In Flamingo Crescent specifically, many of the other above organisations played a lead role in organising a crèche.  This network organized the funding, design, construction, and facilitation of the institution, in addition to supplying materials, training and administrative needs such as registration with the state, grants, subsidies, and tax breaks.
