Unlike in Western countries, think tanks in Africa still fight for recognition. If their expertise is generally respected, the political and security establishments in several countries often consider them agents of some hidden powers. Behind this suspicion lie interconnected issues related to independence and funding.<\/p>\n<p>Jean Blaise Nkonga said: \u201cThink tanks are fragile in Central Africa and they can be strengthened. When you go to East and West Africa, think tanks are funded but that is not the case with Central Africa. With funds, the think tanks can better plan but without it, it is difficult for them to plan their activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGetting funds to do research, get the quality of the research and disseminate it is a major hurdle for us in Rwanda. We are surviving on small projects which are not sustainable for research institutions,\u201d Eugenia Kayitesi, Executive Director of the Institute of Policy Analysis and Research, IPAR-Rwanda said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThink tanks also face the challenge of having quality and competent researchers. Mostly, we need at least PhD holders and there are very few on the continent. Not only in Rwanda but across the continent, there is a problem of having quality researchers to produce quality works.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I talk of researchers, women are not there. There are very few and getting competent, qualified is a problem. This is an area we need to work on and to have women researchers coming on board is important,\u201d Eugenia Kayitesi said on the need to get more women on board on the aspect of research.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have very few women and even those who come are coming just to do the little work like data collection. They are not doing the real research that informs policy changes across the continent.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>About the Nkafu Policy Institute<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Nkafu Policy Institute is a think tank within the Denis and Lenora Foretia Foundation whose purpose is to produce independent analysis to inform public debate.
