Why is it important?
This study investigates the research conducted in order to assist with the creation and execution of a transition plan between 2004 and 2012. It explores the evolution of an organization, starting from its existence as a post-presidential office, to transforming into a non-governmental organization focused on human rights activities within the realm of memory and dialogue.
Perspectives
The four projects examined in this analysis include an exploration of the South African tradition of "memory for justice" and how it can be implemented at the Nelson Mandela Foundation. Additionally, there is a comprehensive study that compares similar institutions worldwide to establish benchmarks. Another project focuses on examining dialogue as an integral aspect of Nelson Mandela's legacy. Lastly, there is a survey conducted specifically to evaluate marketing strategies and branding efforts.
