The 2014 Global Go To Think Tank Index (GGTTI)
The Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) at the University of Pennsylvania conducts research on the role policy institutes play in governments and civil societies around the world. Often referred to as the “think tanks’ think tank,” TTCSP examines the evolving role and character of public policy research organizations.
Over the last 25 years, the TTCSP has developed and led a series of global initiatives that have helped bridge the gap between knowledge and policy in critical policy areas such as international peace and security, globalization and governance, international economics, environmental issues, information and society, poverty alleviation, and healthcare and global health.
The 2014 Global Go To Think Tank Index (GGTTI) marks the eighth year of continued efforts by the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) at the University of Pennsylvania to acknowledge the important contributions and emerging global trends of think tanks worldwide.
Last y year (2013) IMANI was ranked the fourth most influential think tank in Africa. This time around, IMANI has moved up to two positions, making it the second most influential think tank in Africa in 2014.
These rankings clearly confirm IMANI’s consistency and unique formula: the previous ranking saw three South Africa Institutions (think tanks) toping up the list of the first five; but this year these institutions are missing on the list of the top five.
