ABOUT THE BOOK

As experts try work out how to solve the problem of foreign aid inefficacy, local think tanks committed to removing institutional barriers to economic opportunity are quickly becoming more plentiful and more effective in leading locally relevant change. This book shares case studies from around the globe demonstrating the efficacy of think tanks in leading local-first strategies for change and draws on multidisciplinary insights to make the case for redirecting philanthropic support to high-performing think tanks in the quest to end poverty for good.
