Policy Advice
Policy advice has taken three forms.
- Government secondments and/or engagements in Rwanda, Liberia,
Lesotho, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe in Africa, and, in 2006, with the
International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.
- Liaison with the Commission of the African Union, which has included,
in 2009, collaboration on the Tswalu Dialogue, the speech on African
Competitiveness by Nicky Oppenheimer to the AU plenary in May, and also the
ongoing development of a maritime policy for the continent.
- Regular policy study-tours that Brenthurst has organized for its
African partners to a number of countries. These have the aim of exposing
African opinion-formers to development best practice. These trips included
participation by officials up to prime ministerial level, and have incorporated
meetings with current and former heads of state. Countries visited include:
Viet Nam (2007 and 2009), Singapore (2008 and 2009), Paname (2009), Colombia
(2009), Costa Rica (2009), El Salvador (2009) and Morocco (2008). Planning is
underway for a visit to India in the near future.
