Brand South Africa aims to contribute to the objectives of the National Development Plan by undertaking coordinated initiatives to build South Africa’s reputation and contribute to the country’s global competitiveness. Our initiatives provide an opportunity for South Africans to participate and become part of the nation’s brand community.
NATION BRAND FORUM
The Nation Brand Forum (NBF), first launched in 2016, is Brand South Africa’s flagship programme to drive active participation of the country’s key stakeholders to achieve a coherent and compelling Nation Brand image, reputation and competitiveness for South Africa. The forum brings together diverse stakeholders from government, private sector and civil society, to constructively address the current issues and discuss interventions that will contribute towards the positive positioning of the Nation Brand.
