Economic Commission for Africa announced it will host the Second Africa Think Tank Summit, on the theme, “The Rise of Africa’s Think Thanks - Practical Solutions to Practical Problems”, from April 6-8, 2015 in Addis Ababa, The Daily Monitor reported.
The aim of the summit is to survey the ways in which Africa’s Think Tanks are presently making a difference in the continent’s transformation and how they can become exceedingly significant and pertinent contributors as the vision for Africa in 2063 rolls out.
The Summit is organized by the Think Tank and Civil Society Programme of Pennsylvania (TTCSP) in collaboration with the Harare-based African Capacity Building Foundation, according to the Commission.
Series of regional and global “think tank Summits” had been organized by the Think Tank and Civil Society Programme of Pennsylvania (TTCSP) , convening together professionals of top-ranked think tanks to act as a trade association for networking, reflection and discussions on the critical matters of the day.
Nine summits had been held thus far, together with regional convocations for Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America, the G20 countries, and most recently a Global Think Tank Summit in Geneva.
