The Policy Action Network (PAN) helps government and civil society partners in South Africa develop and implement transformative public policies by connecting them with relevant research, data and people.
We work with partners in four main areas:
The current focal policy areas are public health and gender, innovation and 4IR, climate resilience and local government.
PAN is an initiative of the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) in South Africa, supported by the Department of Science and Innovation. PAN was established in 2011 and has provided evidence support in a number of areas related to poverty alleviation and development.
We welcome new ideas and proposals for collaboration so feel free to contact us by emailing info@policyaction.org.za. You should receive a reply within a day or two.
