At the HSF office, he was briefed about recent research on economic growth, demographics and development cooperation with African countries. He emphasised that it is important to support the economic and societal development of South Africa. The success of diverse democratic institutions is crucial to facilitate good governance and social progress, and the German political foundations active in the country can contribute to efforts of their local partners towards these goals.
