A few days ago，Assistant researcher at the Nigerian African Economic Research Center Lateef Olawale Akanni (Lateef Olawale Akanni) posted on the international think tank "On Think Tank"。He combined his observation during the article in the article and communicated with Chinese think tank scholars，Analysis of the common points between China -Africa think tanks and China's think tank construction experience。

Akani said，China Think Tank is attracting policy decision makers、The media and the public participated in the discussion of local and international policy issues and played a key role，This is the same aspect of think tanks such as Africa。But different from Africa's unofficial think tanks occupy the main position，Most think tanks in China have different degrees of contact with the government。

bet365 Play online games He observed，In China，Some think tanks belong to the government，With stable funding support，Then the policy decision -making can get continuous empirical research support。There are also some government think tanks that exist to serve specific policy needs in Africa，but insufficient funds、Not continuous often hinders these think tanks to play a role。So，Most of Africa think tanks，Including government think tanks，Very dependent on international funding。

Some Chinese think tanks and the government's "embedded" relationship，It guarantees the collaboration between think tanks and government departments。different government departments dock the think tanks in the corresponding professional fields，This helps researchers to interact with policy decision makers，enhanced the liquidity of the personnel between the government and the think tank。Although this relationship will cause some questioning of the "independence" of think tanks，But according to his observation，The Bet365 lotto review research results and policy recommendations of these think tanks are strictly based on data and evidence。

other，China Think Tank is still practicing the "Rotating Door" system，This enables some retired government officials to continue to contribute wisdom to policy research。This is a win -win move for think tanks and decisionists: it can promote the conversion of knowledge results and experience sharing; provide a "retirement motivation" for policy decision makers，to a certain extent reduces the possibility of corruption during the working period; enhances the policy correlation of think tank work; it helps think tanks to increase "chips" when seeking funding。African think tanks can learn this "rotating door" system，Absorbing retired officials as senior researchers。At the same time，China Think Tank clearly defines the scope of work participation of these officials，Ensure that the research results are strictly based on data and evidence，Ensure the independence and operation autonomy of the think tank。

bet365 best casino games Akani mentioned，There are also some Chinese think tanks through "internal reference" and other forms，The research results are sent to the government and policy decision makers，This also increases the possibility of the results of think tanks。

　Create the credibility of African think tanks

Akani called，In Africa，Some public and government personnel lack trust in think tanks。Persist in integrity、Transparent、Independent basis，African think tanks need to further enhance credibility，Create a relationship network built by policy decision makers。Let the policy decision -making interests participate in the research process，Let them understand the results of possible output，helps to develop reasonable policies。African think tank is moving towards the sustainable future。Establish close contact with policy decision makers，It is necessary to increase the internal funding funding and the acceptance of the think tank results。At the same time，It should also expand the participation of experts in the policy bet365 best casino games sector，Promote it to make more contributions to the future prosperity and development of Africa。

The founder and director of the "On Think Tank" website, Enrique Mendizabal, said in an interview with this reporter，China Think Tank and Most of the African Think Tanks are different，But there are three points of experience for African think tanks to think。First，The number of Chinese think tanks is huge，Many think tanks provide policy options，More policy options means that decision makers can make decisions more wisely。In many African countries，The number of think tanks is small，Policy options that decision makers can refer to are limited。Next，Most of the funds of China think tanks come from domestic，Domestic funds, especially government funding, can ensure that the think tank work is closely expanded around the country's policies。In Africa，Most think tank funds come from foreign aid，This means that the topic of the think tank may be affected by foreign government、The influence of multilateral or foreign bet365 Play online games foundations。Last，In China，The country and society are interested in the results of think tanks、Demand，Decision makers want evidence support when making decisions，Scholars are also very concerned about think tank research，This helps the think tank continuously progress。In Africa，The demand for think tank results, although it is also increasing，but still less，Insufficient scholars who follow the research on think tanks。
