SAMP

The SA Node of the Millennium Project (MP) was formed through the facilitation of Dr Jerome C Glenn, Director of the MP. A formal Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed in September 2004 between Dr Glenn and the interim co-chairs of the Node – Bob Day, JP Landman and Geci Karuri – as well as the SA Futures Society. There was an understanding that more institutions and interested parties would be invited to sign the MoU and join the SA Node as the Node establishes itself. Currently, the SA Node includes a database of over 50 South African individuals and institutions that are involved in futures research.

It is the mission of the SA Node to:

• spread the culture of futures thinking in the region;
• deepen expertise in futures amongst institutions and individuals in southern Africa; and
• galvanise and mobilize southern African experts and networks to participate in the activities of the Millennium Project.
