Instituto Centroamericano de Administración Pública

Central American Institute of Public Administration ‒ ICAP

San José, Costa Rica

This organisation may not be a traditional think tank. We have included it in this list as we deem it to be a 'boundary' organisation – in other words, it might have some qualities or characterstics of a think tank.

The ICAP is responsible for the development of human resources, the modernization of the public sectors of the Isthmus, and to support the Central American integration efforts. They work in three strategic areas: training, (they offer masters and a PhD programme); technical assistance to institutions, consultancies, training; and research as a means to identify and propose solutions to the region's challenges.
