The South African Institute of Race Relations is the leading independent research and policy organization in South Africa. Established in 1929 the Institute has a proud record of conducting and publishing cutting edge research and policy critiques. The Institute publishes widely on education, the economy, business, employment, crime, demographics, health, welfare, and politics. The bulk of the material published is based on hard factual data and not on the personal opinions of the authors. In doing so the Institute considers a uniquely wide spectrum of the factors that contribute to the current state of South Africa. The factual foundation of our work allows the Institute to deliver informed comment about government policy proposals and legislation. Failed policy can be flagged and amendments proposed while successful policy can be supported against ill informed criticism. The Institute today therefore plays a dual role - both tangible and intangible. We provide the best data and analysis on almost every area of South Africa’s development. We in turn use that expertise as a foundation upon which to campaign for South Africa’s success.
