MINDSPACE soundbite – Can SA get by without foreign aid?

Loading player...
We’ve recently seen a shift in the global aid landscape. Some of the world’s largest economies are pulling back on international aid to prioritise their domestic concerns. This raises an important question for South Africa: How do we create self-sustainability beyond foreign aid?

Join us for this MINDSPACE Soundbite as we discuss how we can better structure our economy to create sustainable progress rather than rely on short-term relief. Some of SA’s biggest challenges lie in infrastructure development, job creation, and fostering economic growth. What can the public and private sectors do together to change things for a better future?  

This MINDSPACE Soundbite is inspired by the April edition of our MINDSPACE newsletter. If you’d like to subscribe, contact us at mindspace@oldmutual.com or visit the Old Mutual Corporate Resource Hub at www.oldmutual.co.za/corporate/resource-hub
