Political Analysis Programme

Through the Political Analysis Programme, the Institute tracks reconciliation, transformation and development in South Africa. Factors critical to the success or the failure of the South African progressive transition are identified and examined.

Through the Programme, a core qualitative and quantitative analysis is provided to guide and support the Institute’s initiatives in South Africa and across the rest of the continent.

The SA Reconciliation Barometer and the annual Economic Transformation Audit are the main research publications produced through the Programme.

SA Reconciliation Barometer: The notion of reconciliation has firmly rooted itself in the parlance of South African society. It is a word that has attached to it a myriad of meanings, yet for most it symbolizes the same thing: the transition from Apartheid to democracy and the building of a free and just nation. Through regular audits of actual socio-political and economic transformation, bi- annual national surveys and ongoing anecdotal analysis of socio-political trends, the Reconciliation Barometer seeks to understand how far South Africa's national reconciliation process has evolved. What is the SA Reconciliation Barometer?

SA Reconciliation Barometer

The SA Reconciliation Barometer  is an annual public opinion survey, which measures South African attitudes towards the country's social transformation process, with particular emphasis on national reconciliation.
      
Transformation Audit: The IJR publishes the Economic Transformation Audit annually to measure progress towards Economic justice in South Africa. Visit www.transformationaudit.org.za to read more about this project.

In this way, the Programme provides supportive information to state and to private policy groups making or planning to make contributions towards nation-building process.
