OPM South Africa
We have extensive experience of the south African policy and public service delivery, with strong national and international networks that support building local capabilities for long-term, positive change.
Over our long history in southern Africa, we’ve addressed a broad range of issues across the policy cycle, from health and nutrition to financial inclusion and jobs creation. Our work has included public expenditure analysis and evaluation in health and education, living standards surveying to aid understanding or urbanisation in African cities, the development of Namibia’s social budget, and the evaluation of South Africa’s job fund.
