ABOUT MINDS:
The Mandela Institute for Development Studies (MINDS) is a Pan-African think tank established in 2010. MINDS emerged out of the observation that development efforts in Africa have hitherto failed to meet expectations with respect to social, institutional and economic outcomes in comparison to other regions of the world. MINDS established on the central hypothesis that effective and sustainable development can only be achieved if development policies and practices are founded on the cultural heritage, value and knowledge systems and institutions of the people who are the subjects or beneficiaries of the development interventions.
MINDS’ mission is to provide a forum for dialogue, information dissemination and networking, underpinned by rigorous research on the different elements of African heritage, in order to shape policy and practice on governance, economic development and the evolution of African institutions. Our vision is to see African societies attain democracy, economic prosperity, social inclusiveness as well as their rightful place in the global community based on a keen self-awareness.
