Editing Think tank (section)

==== Ghana ====
Ghana's first president, [[Kwame Nkrumah]], set up various state-supported think tanks in the 1960s. By the 1990s, a variety of policy research centers sprang up in Africa set up by academics who sought to influence public policy in Ghana.

One such think tank was [[The Institute of Economic Affairs, Ghana]], which was founded in 1989 when the country was ruled by the [[Provisional National Defence Council]]. The IEA undertakes and publishes research on a range of economic and governance issues confronting [[Ghana]] and [[Sub-Saharan Africa]]. It has also been involved in bringing political parties together to engage in dialogue. In particular it has organised Presidential debates every election year since the [[Ghanaian presidential election, 1996]].
