Against the success of the MIMI pilot phase, the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) contracted the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal (UKZN), the HSRC and the South African Local Government Association (SALGA) to facilitate a sector-wide scale up of MIMI, across municipality tiers, through an online platform AKA Digital MIMI (DMIMI).
DMIMI is an interactive information and decision online platform, which helps municipalities to strengthen and continually improve their own innovation activities or practices.
MIMI is an important knowledge management tool that bears relevance for innovation in the public sector more broadly.
