We’re a public interest advisory and research firm based in South Africa working for positive change.
ALT Advisory is a public interest advisory and research firm based in South Africa which questions convention and works for positive change in Africa, and the world.
We assist socially responsible organisations with advisory & analysis, research, impact, training, and communications & design services in the areas of public law & policy, information rights, data privacy, and emergent tech & innovation.
ALT Advisory works in association with Power Singh Inc. and ALT Design to provide comprehensive and diversified services to our clients, which includes strategic and test case litigation and communications support.
Since 2017, we’ve worked in 24 countries, across 5 continents.
We advance fundamental rights, enable meaningful activism, and advocate for rights‑based approaches to contemporary questions on- and offline.
ALT Advisory, in association with Power Singh Inc., seeks to self-fund public interest projects and litigation and develop the private-public interest law model to facilitate access to justice and legal services in South Africa, and on the African continent.
The model is premised on an understanding that there are constraints on donor funding for traditional public interest law organisations and that new funding mechanisms for strategic and test case litigation are needed.
Accordingly, in developing the private-public interest law model, ALT Advisory, which is managed by the same Directors as Power Singh Inc., contributes a large percentage of its annual profits to funding public interest projects and litigation within Power Singh Inc.
Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) is an initiative by the South African Government that seeks to redress previous patterns of disadvantage in the South African economy.
In terms of the revised B-BBEE Codes, ALT has a Level 4 BEE Status with 100% procurement recognition.
ALT Advisory’s BEE certification is available on request.
