The Botswana Institute for Development Policy Analysis has attained a special milestone as a research Institute, having been ranked the top think tank in Sub-Saharan Africa by the latest Global Think Tank Index. The 2017 TTCSP Global Go To Think Tank Index ranks BIDPA number one among think tanks in the Sub-Saharan Africa region, and 42nd on the list of Top Think Tanks Globally (US institutions excepted). It has been an exciting journey for BIDPA as the Institute has managed to sustain a steady, but upward trajectory in terms of these rankings. BIDPA ranked 29th in Sub-Saharan Africa in 2011, but the institute moved to the 12th spot in 2012, 10th spot in 2013, 5th spot in 2014, 4th spot in 2015, 3rd spot in 2016 and the Institute now occupies the top spot in the latest index.
The TTCSP (Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program) produces the annual Global Go To Think Tank Index that ranks the world’s leading think tanks in a variety of categories. The goal of the program is to increase the profile and performance of think tanks and raise the public awareness of the important role think tanks play in governments and civil societies around the globe.
