Executive summary
Nelson Mandela International Day has enjoyed 10 years of global support and solidarity since it was launched in 2009.
In 2019 the Nelson Mandela Foundation has launched a new Mandela Day strategy, titled: Mandela Day: The Next Chapter, to mark the tenth anniversary of the initiative. In these next 10 years, let us mobilise people, governments, civil society and corporates to focus on these 5 areas: education and literacy, food and nutrition, shelter, sanitation and active citizenship.
What is the Mandela Day Global Network?
The Mandela Day strategy introduces systems for organisations to globally participate to advance the cause of Mandela Day.
The Mandela Day Global Network is a community of organisations, government, corporates and individuals that partner with the Foundation to drive Mandela Day and pursue its objectives. It is a base for the strategic partnerships of organisations with common goals aimed at globally coordinating efforts, sharing information and linking the needs to resources.
