Cultivate and connect imaginative leaders.

This opportunity embodies three lines of flight out of the inequality trap, namely imagination, connection and capacitation of leadership. DGMT has long held the view that civil society should take its equal place alongside government and business in shaping the social and economic future of South Africa. This requires a pipeline of skilled, confident leaders with a strong sense of identity as public innovators. Leadership for public innovation is not limited to organisational leadership, but includes community leaders and mobilisers who drive collective action for change in their communities. We believe that community ownership and participation are fundamental tenets in building a sense of pride and aspiration.

five-year aims:

› Achieve effective leadership coalitions to seize the ten opportunities towards DGMT’s goals.

› Galvanise civil society to have greater influence and participation in national development strategies.
