Think Tanks and Convening

In complex policy environments, understanding what is really happening requires more than data or isolated analysis. Insight is often fragmented across institutions, sectors, and lived experience, obscuring how policies and programmes play out in practice.
The Impact Think Tank plays a critical role as a neutral convener—bringing together evidence, practitioner knowledge, and end-user perspectives in shared dialogue. We intentionally bring together policymakers, multilateral and bilateral partners, subject-matter experts, implementing organisations, private-sector actors, and end users.
Through well-designed convenings, we provide structured platforms for learning, joint analysis, and collective sense-making on priority development and policy challenges. This inclusive, strategic approach reveals gaps between intent and reality and ensures that global evidence, operational experience, and local perspectives are integrated to inform decision-making and action.
