About the Olof Palme International Center
The Olof Palme International Center (Palme Center) is the international solidarity organisation of the Swedish labour movement. Through long-term partnerships with trade unions, civil society organisations and democratic actors around the world, the Palme Center works to strengthen democracy, human rights, peace and social justice.
About the Programme
With funding from the EU Delegation to South Africa, the Palme Center is implementing the programme Bridging Inequalities: Community and Worker Participation for an Inclusive Just Energy Transition in South Africa.
South Africa's transition from a coal-dependent economy to a low-carbon future is one of the country's most significant social and economic transformations. The programme seeks to ensure that workers and communities most affected by this transition have a meaningful voice in shaping it and to ensure that the transition is inclusive, participatory and socially just.
Working primarily in Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal, the programme seeks to strengthen the capacity of workers, communities, trade unions, civil society organisations and local authorities to actively engage in and influence Just Energy Transition (JET) processes.
Through capacity strengthening, social dialogue, community engagement, advocacy and local development initiatives, the programme promotes an inclusive and socially just transition in which decent work, social justice and community priorities are placed at the centre of the transformation.
