Think Tank Initiative 2012 exchange: on building research capacity for ‘young’ think tanks
On Monday, Hans Gutbrod from the Think Tank Initiative shared his views on the coming together of think tanks from across the developing world. Over the next few weeks we will be sharing a number of videos from its sessions at the TTI Exchange in Cape Town earlier this year. I was not able to go to all of them so I am glad they are now out to see what went on. From the email sent by Julie Lafrance from TTI to the participants:
In an effort to continue the interaction and learning from the TTI Exchange, we will make 2 panels / workshops available each week for the next six weeks for you to view, or share with colleagues, business associates or friends that were not able to join us for the Exchange. For ease of viewing, each 2 hour session has been split into 15 minute clips for each presenter and the discussions have been segmented into two parts.
The first session is on how to develop the research capacity of young/new think tanks:
Panel A: Building capacity for quality research – challenges and opportunities for “young” think tanks can be found here. The videos are below:
Ajaya Dixit: Institute for Social and Environmental Transition – Nepal (ISET-N)
Watch Ajaya’s talk (not really about building capacity but and interesting discussion on limitations of external ‘experts’)
Werner Hermani: Fundación ARU
Eberechukwu Uneze: Center for the Study of the Economies of Africa
Ibrahima Hathié: Initiative prospective agricole et rurale (IPAR)
And the discussions from the floor: the first part and second part
