Our Senior Fellow Amb. Mohammed Loulichki will participate in a webinar aiming to to examine the functions and challenges of think tanks in the process of peacebuilding in Africa. Over the years, think tanks have been very instrumental in the process of peacebuilding across Africa. They conduct policy research, analyses and make policy recommendations to policy makers and public opinion on a broad range of issues around peace, security, governance and development.  However, African think tanks face several structural challenges. These include, inter alia, inadequate funding, limited collaboration with the African Union and the Regional Economic Communities.
