The COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be both disruptive as well as an opportunity for re-thinking how and why we do what we do, and how we can do it better. Organisations around the world have had to change to ensure they continue with their operations and deliver on their mandate.

On 20-22 April 2021, On Think Tanks (OTT) and the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) will co-host a virtual conference to discuss how think tanks around the world can react to, and foster change. The three-day conference will bring together hundreds of thinktankers, think tank scholars, funders and policymakers from around the world to share perspectives and reflect on the role of think tanks in times of crises.

Director, Public Policy and Communication – AFIDEP, Dr. Rose Oronje will be a panel participant in one of the conference’s sessions dubbed, ‘the impact of the pandemic and social justice movements on North-South research partnerships.’  The session, taking place on 22 April at 16:00 – 17:00 (CEST) will focus on North-South research partnership models and opportunities, and the benefits and challenges associated with them. Other panel participants include Norma Altshuler (Hewlett Foundation) and Mohammed Awal (Ghana Center for Democratic Development).
