Call for Expressions of Interest - Think Tank Initiative: Local research for lasting solutions


Think Tank Initiative: Local research for lasting solutions

Call for Expressions of Interest

The Think Tank Initiative invites applications from eligible South Asian organizations that are committed to using research to inform and influence social and economic policy. The Initiative will provide multi-year core funding and technical support to successful think tanks.

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)

Deadline: September 28, 2009
