South Africa's leading public policy think tank on social and economic issues, the Centre for Development and Enterprise (CDE) focuses on national development issues and their relationship to economic growth and democratic consolidation. By examining South African realities and international experience, CDE formulates practical policy proposals outlining ways in which South Africa can tackle major social and economic challenges. It has a special focus on the role of business and markets in development. CDE has developed a network of leading think tanks in India and Brazil.
