Over the past few weeks, the BI4GOV team in the Western Cape Government connected with leading behavioural insights (BI) practitioners from across the globe, hailing from research organisations, government, academia, and multilateral organisations alike, and we are now releasing the findings through a series of articles here on our blog.

On 6th October 2019, a collection of global players in education came together at the Qudwa conference in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) to share learnings and discuss the most prolific trends in the space. Ammaarah Martinus, Director of Policy, Research and Analysis, as well as BI4Gov team lead in the Western Cape Government, was delighted to deliver a one-hour masterclass on Western Cape’s Growth Mindset initiative.

On 27 and 28 September 2018, the Western Cape Government (WCG) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) hosted 250 behavioural practitioners and policymakers from 21 countries who represented national and sub-national governments, regulators, NGOs, academia, private sector and multi-national bodies at the Behavioural Insights Conference Making a Real Difference: Nudging for Policy Change.

Here you can find a summary and the key highlights of the conference.
