As we edge closer towards a decade of MISTRA’s existence, we have reason to celebrate. But with success come greater expectations and new challenges.

In the midst of global economic challenges, and their impact on developing economies including our own, MISTRA has continued in its second year of existence to pose the right questions, search for practical answers to the development challenges, and establish ideal collaborations.

This year of 2013/2014 has been a period of further growth for the Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection (MISTRA). The focus on strong leadership, fulfilment of the MISTRA research agenda and the attraction of top quality staff is testimony to it’s drive towards competitiveness.
