Scale the impact of effective programmes.

DGMT is committed to a vision of a South Africa where every person has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. This national vision compels us to share effective strategies, practices and programmatic interventions in service to scaling impact across many communities.

Our work in the place-based integration portfolio, as well as the broader DGMT, identifies and invests in public innovations that can help many South Africans escape the inequality trap and realise their potential. We hope to achieve this by being appropriately plugged into South Africa’s public innovation ecosystem and by leveraging the expanse of our own network and experience.

There is a limit to the number of communities we can reach with our funding and efforts. Fortunately, that isn’t a limitation to enabling the effective scaling of impactful work. We need to find ways to participate in and enable an exchange of ideas and solutions between ourselves and other change makers across the country – particularly those who are trying to leverage the power of place and its impact on social and economic mobility.

five-year aim:

› Surface and present the evidence of working approaches to enable scaling of impact across communities.
