 Essay Tide is a collaborative research program. It is a joint undertaking between UNU-Vider, the government of South Africa, particularly the National Treasury, the South African Revenue Service, the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, the Department of Trade and Industry, and the International Food Policy Research Institute. It's trying to answer a fairly tough question, how to make growth in South Africa faster and more inclusive. The Essay Tide is there to essentially deepen research in order to enable the government to fulfill its aim of making policy on the basis of good evidence. Taking the right steps, making the right reforms. It brings together world-class researchers with policymakers to combat economic as well as poverty and inclusiveness-related challenges in South Africa but also in the broader Southern African region. A big part of what we do is actually related to trying to engage with the policy-making community. As partners, really, that's distinctive about it.
