What is TIPS?

TIPS is an independent, not-for-profit economic research institution that has been actively supporting the development of economic policy since its inception in 1996. We facilitate policy development and dialogue across six key policy pillars including Trade, African Economic Integration, Industrial Development, Inequality and Economic Marginalisation, Sustainable Development and Rural Development. We work closely with economic policy stakeholders in South Africa and beyond into Africa, particularly from the public sector and civil society, drawing from our networks with academia and other research partners across the continent and beyond.
