Support the NSI
The New South Institute (NSI) is more than just a research institute or policy advisory, it is a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change. We believe that people with passion can transform the world, empowering ordinary citizens to build stronger democracies and capable governments that serve the people – particularly in regions marked by the legacy of colonialism, totalitarianism, and civil war.
We bring together some of South Africa’s most brilliant scholars, public intellectuals, and former civil servants to diagnose why dreams of democracy have unraveled and how we can help mend them. The importance of this work is not confined to South Africa but is resonant in many countries across the globe, a reality highlighted by the many contacts we receive from individuals and organizations worldwide.
