Topics in Global Policy Leadership is the capstone course for public policy students at Dartmouth. Each year, the program produces a white paper about a different country. Past countries include India, Colombia, and Northern Ireland. This year, our group produced a white paper about how South Africa might promote economic growth while broadening prosperity.

We would like to thank all of the experts who were a part of this white paper. This report is a synthesis of expert opinions, not a creation by the authors. Without the experts we interviewed and the incredible research cited in this report, it simply would not exist.

Special thanks to James Nachtwey, who offered us the chance to showcase his photographs digitally in this report. His photographs paint a vibrant picture of South Africa, and those who look at his images are transported to the site, almost mystically. Mr. Nachtwey’s photographs are identifiable with the following credit: © All rights reserved James Nachtwey Archive, Hood Museum of Art, and the Dartmouth Rockefeller Center. While sharing and distributing this report as a whole is permissible, it is expressly prohibited to distribute, or reproduce these images outside the context of this report.
