TIPS

Abstract

Trade and Industrial Policy Strategies (TIPS) was originally established to support economic departments in the South African government post-1994 liberation, to provide alternative policy perspectives for the nascent democratic administration. TIPS offered organisation, facilitation, thought leadership, commissioned work and project management in a variety of ways. Historically TIPS has relied on donor funding to cover its operations and direct its efforts. After 20 years of operations, this paper provides assessment and analysis towards a new model for TIPS in view of the decline in donor funding for not-for-Profit Organizations. TIPS re-structured as a Research Organisation could answer current needs.
