The Economic Policy Research Institute (EPRI) was founded in 1994 to support the process of South Africa's socio-economic transformation and development. EPRI is an NGO based in Cape Town, South Africa, with the twin objectives of high caliber economic research and capacity building for the public sector, especially the senior management of various government branches and the Parliament.

Through its research, EPRI strives to contribute meaningfully to ongoing debates surrounding economic and socio-economic policies of South Africa, both with academia within the country and abroad as well as with the government of South Africa and the civil societies.

The capacity building programmes EPRI administer intend to provide necessary economic backgrounds to capacitate the government, public sector and civil societies to understand and meaningfully engage in debates surrounding socio-economic policies within the country.
