Engage

We partner with think tanks, researchers, and academia to spark new ideas in development, grow capacity, and leverage technology to equalize access to information. We convene stakeholders through events and learning workshops, and we are actively working to grow our list of institutional partners and build a network of contributing experts.

Given our global mandate, we operate out of regional hubs. The hub in Rome, Italy, is supported by the Government of Italy, in collaboration with the Bank of Italy and the Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance (EIEF). It facilitates connections with think tanks in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. The hub in Washington, D.C. facilitates partnerships with global institutions to engage with think tanks in Latin America and the Caribbean and the broader Western Hemisphere.
