IEJ works with labour movements, civil society organisations, academia, policymakers, and community leaders to co-create knowledge and influence change. These partnerships make our research more grounded, impactful, and aligned with the real needs of people and communities.
By acting as a research and policy hub, the IEJ builds links between the research community and the labour movement, progressive civil society and activist organisations, and elements within the state and business. Our research agenda is developed in an ongoing collaboration with these social partners, and the project outputs are made accessible and appropriate for policy work. In South Africa, such an organic relationship between an economics research institute and organisations with a mass constituency is unique.
