\nTopic:\u00a0Recruiting and Retaining Best Researchers in Think tanks
\nBackground
\nAccording to the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s 2021 ranking of the world\u2019s best think tanks and research centers, African think tanks are poorly represented in the global top 50. Think tanks from countries in the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) are virtually absent from this ranking (McGann, 2021). The absence of ECCAS think tanks among the best in the world is linked, in particular, to the high turnover of researchers within these organizations. According to McGann et al (2017), staff members often leave the organization for better-paid positions a few years after being trained. This situation is more noticeable in central Africa, where think tanks are almost nonexistent. Recruiting and retaining qualified researchers in think tanks in Central Africa is therefore a possible solution to improve their visibility and performance. With this in mind, the Nkafu Policy Institute, a think tank at the Denis and Lenora Foretia Foundation, is hosting a webinar on the theme: Recruiting and Retaining the Best\u00a0Researchers in Think Tanks.
\nObjective
\nThe objective of this webinar is to give an opportunity to ECCAS think tank leaders to share experiences and explore strategies and best practices for attracting and retaining research talents in their organizations. More specifically, it will focus on:<\/p>\n

The reasons behind high turnover of researchers in think tanks and research centers in Central Africa;
\nInnovative approaches in attracting qualified researchers to ECCAS think tanks;
\nEffective strategies in retaining researchers in ECCAS think tanks;
\nThe importance of regular capacity building trainings and career development opportunities for researchers.<\/p>\n

Target Audience
\nThis webinar\u00a0 targets researchers and leaders from ECCAS think tanks and independent research centers.
\nExpected outcomes<\/p>\n

Improved knowledge among think tank leaders on how to attract and retain qualified researchers within their organization.
\nIncreased awareness among think tank researchers in the need of acquiring longer experience in a specific think tank for their professional growth and career.<\/p>\n
