Pretoria, South Africa HSRC Recruitment Full time

**Job Advert Summary**:
The Africa Institute of South Africa (AISA) leads and coordinates the HSRC’s Africa research agenda, programs, and engagements. It acts as a catalyst for research and implementation support across the continent. AISA undertakes basic, applied policy-relevant and comparative research, and seeks to build capacity and provide policy advice and implementation support to advance South Africa’s African Agenda, Agenda 2063, and the Sustainable Development Goals. It collaborates with a range of national, continental, and international governments, as well as multilateral institutions, research institutes, universities, and civil society to achieve its objectives.

The HSRC’s mandate requires a broad focus on, and contribution to, eradicating poverty, reducing inequality and unemployment, and facilitating a peaceful future for a prosperous Africa. The United Nations (UN), the African Union (AU) and the South African government have developed policy frameworks towards these goals. Such frameworks require monitoring, adaption, and implementation to be successful. AISA seeks to provide a deeper understanding of and thought leadership on a range of issues that can inform policy and practice, as well as narrow the persisting gaps and disjuncture between developed frameworks, policies, and their implementation. AISA, in conjunction with the rest of the HSRC, seeks to do this through evidenced-based research, convening forums, providing strategic and policy advice to governments and intergovernmental organisations, forming partnerships, and engaging in implementation support for civil society and governments.
