The Think Tank Initiative in Review This Report covers the first two years of the program, from its conception to the beginning of its implementation. Read the report here.

The Think Tank Initiative is a multi-donor program dedicated to strengthening independent policy research institutions – or “think tanks” – in developing countries, enabling them to better provide sound research that both informs and influences policy.

The Initiative will focus its activities in East and West Africa, South Asia, and Latin America.

Initial funding for the Think Tank Initiative has been provided by:
William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
International Development Research Centre (IDRC)
UK Department for International Development (DFID)
Netherlands Directorate-General for International Cooperation (DGIS)
