The Mandela Institute for Development Studies (MINDS) is an Africa-wide think tank which provides a forum for dialogue, information dissemination, networking and research on the different elements of Africa.
Dialogues hosted also serves the opportunity for knowledge dissemination, networking and influencing public policy formulation and practice in the thematic areas.

MINDS will use this body of knowledge as the filter to test the extent to which development interventions have either used or omitted to use African Heritage as a foundation.
