What is MOIN South Africa?
MOIN South Africa is a dedicated chapter of the Mission-Oriented Innovation Network which works with policy makers and academics to explore how mission-oriented innovation can tackle grand challenges in the South African context; with a particular focus on mobilising a just, green energy transition.
Launched in 2021, with the support of The Rockefeller Foundation, and working with a situated academic and practitioner network in South Africa, the programme will provide research evidence on windows of green opportunities in the country. Alongside this, and in collaboration with the South African National School of Government, the programme also provides Executive Education courses to enable state capacity building within the South African public sector.
