Partnering for a New Economy
NEH supports partners building the foundations of a just energy transition by enhancing public access to accurate, relevant, and inclusive information. We work with partners to deepen civic engagement and build community power in the transition and equip civil society actors to drive highimpact campaigns and shape national and global agendas.
Pillar 1
Building a robust public information commons
A just transition demands a just process. People must define what “justice” looks, feels, and tastes like. This requires deep investment in building people’s agency to speak, organise, and lead. Technocratic solutions alone may build systems, but they cannot build trust.
How we use technology to repair inequality and counter misinformation will underpin our ability to reset South Africa’s energy system and reshape the economy. We need stories, data, and dialogue that connect people to power to change this.

Pillar 2
Strengthening social participation
A just transition to a new economy demands a just process. People must be empowered to define for themselves what “justice” looks, feels, and tastes like. We offer our partners the tools and resources they need to organise themselves and learn together, as well as to claim a seat at the table to negotiate the just transition they want.

Pillar 3
Launching and landing compelling campaigns
Realising a just transition for a new economy will depend on our ability to compelling narratives and convincing campaigns that can shift people from ambivalence to action. We offer our partners the tools and support they need to launch and land powerful campaigns that will build us a new economy that puts people and planet first.
