This film is a part of a series that captures key lessons learned by African Think Tanks that participated in the Think Tank Initiative over the last 10 years. This video features interviews with staff members from Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Research Organization (STIPRO).

The story captures the challenges and opportunities that think tanks face across East and West Africa in their efforts to achieve economic, social and political change.

The Think Tank Initiative (TTI) helped to strengthen policy research institutions – think tanks – in 20 developing countries over 10 years through a mix of core funding and support for capacity development. The stories in this video provide a first-hand account of how this support impacted think tanks in Africa.
