IMANI Africa has been ranked the third best think tank in Sub-Saharan Africa in 2017 among several other accolades by the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP), University of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
In 2007, the TTCSP developed and launched a global index of think tanks called\u00a0Global\u00a0Go To\u00a0Think Tank Index<\/i>, which serves as a framework for publishing the\u00a0Global\u00a0Go To\u00a0Think Tank Index\u00a0Reports<\/i>\u00a0annually.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
The Index and Reports are designed to identify and recognize centers of excellence in all the major areas of public policy research and in every region of the world.\u00a0It is the result of an international survey of over 1,950 scholars, public and private donors, policymakers, and journalists who helped rank over 6,500 think tanks using a set of 18 criteria.<\/p>\n
The rankings have in the past been co-launched with the Foreign Policy Magazine, the United Nations University, other top-rated Universities and think thanks.<\/p>\n
Out of 90 think tanks ranked across the sub-region in the 2017 Report, IMANI came third whilst occupying the first position in Ghana.<\/p>\n
