The few think tanks that some very poor countries have follow very traditional business models that make them expensive and inflexible. Instead, and because of this small think tank community, they have to rely on policy ideas coming from abroad -often from the think tanks, research centres and consultancies set up in developed countries to lobby and influence international aid agencies.Īlso, with only a handful of policy research organisations to produce research and policy advice, policymakers and the public cannot be expected to be well-informed. Few developing countries have enough policy research institutes to help address the challenges they face. Why this post? The simple answer is that we need more think tanks. Instead, this post presents advice that could be considered when trying to set up a new think tank. I am not offering a definitive list of steps (they may not even be in the right order) to set up a think tank.
