The Centre for Policy Studies is an independent policy research institution that produces original and thought-provoking research on South Africa’s, and the rest of Africa’s policies, governance and democratisation challenges.

CPS is currently engaged in a major expansion programme with a strong emphasis on Africa. Besides a concerted effort to raise enough core funding to sustain a high level of research activity, this programme also entails an increased emphasis on:

• international co-operative research projects,

• efforts to enhance and deepen CPS’s field research,

• a training programme designed to improve CPS research expertise, and

• longer-term projects which will deepen the understanding of South Africa’s policy challenges.

The CPS research agenda for 2007-2012 cover the following research programme areas:

• Governance;

• Democratisation;

• Civil Society;

• Development and Delivery;

• Africa’s International Relations;

• Employment and Enterprise; and

• Policy and Implementation.
