 My name is John Page. I'm a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington and a non-resident senior fellow at UNU Wider. In the SA Tide program I am one of two of the workstream managers for the regional workstream. My name is Nigel Gwinevans. I'm at the Department of Trade and Industry and Chief Director responsible for regional integration and industrial development. And I'm a team leader on the SA Tide program. The SA Tide is there to essentially deepen research in the region. It's trying to answer a fairly tough question. How to make growth in South Africa faster and more inclusive. And really to provide focused policy recommendations. South Africa is the largest player in the regional economy. For other countries in the region I think a significant question is always what's in it for us. To the extent that we can help to design policies that allow South Africa to get greater prosperity spread throughout the region that benefits everybody. So essentially this research looks at aspects such as harder strength and key value chains, regional value chains particularly in the agri-processing, mining, consumer goods sectors that looks at foreign investment, South Africa's foreign investment into the region, aspects such as China's role in Africa at the moment. It looks at trade issues, particularly issues such as non-tariff barriers that are holding back development of the region as a whole. So it's really trying to push the boundaries of research but also trying to move it into the policy dimension and trying to come out with key policy recommendations that can be taken forward by policy makers.
