dc.description.abstractThe Think Tank Initiative (TTI) was a remarkably ambitious, large and long-term effort managed by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and funded by six donors, with the purpose of supporting selected think tanks. It ran over a period of ten years (2008-2019) and provided support for 43 think tanks in 20 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, with a total budget of well over CAD 200 million.   Total financial support to each grantee over the period varied from CAD 500,000 to almost CAD 2,500,000. The main part of the support provided consisted of core, non-earmarked funding. This modality was then combined with capacity development, monitoring and advisory support from TTI staff located in the different regions and from external experts, focusing on three broad areas: research methods and skills, policy engagement and communications and organizational effectiveness.   This Executive Summary presents the overall findings, conclusions and recommendations from the external evaluation of Phase Two (2014-2019) of the Think Tank Initiative (TTI). Conclusions related to effectiveness, outcomes and impact are presented, as well as lessons to be learned from the TTI experience.en
