African Technology Policy Studies Network (ATPS) again emerges as the Best Think Tank Network; Best managed Think Tank; and Best Think Tank with the most Significant Impact on Public Policy in Africa, according to a Global Survey

  • Best institutional collaboration involving two or more Think Tanks (15th globally);
  • Best Trans-disciplinary Research Program at a Think Tank (11th globally); and

The ATPS came second in Africa amongst Think Tanks with the Most Innovative Policy Ideas/Proposals (28th globally); Top Think Tanks with Annual Operating Budgets of Less Than $5 Million USD (8th globally); and Best Advocacy Campaign (18th globally). Within its core mandate area of Science and Technology, the ATPS ranked 13th amongst Top Science and Technology Think Tanks globally, coming 2nd in Africa, after South Africa’s well-resourced CSIR.  ATPS was ranked 44th globally and 4th in Africa amongst Top International Development Think Tanks.
