CSTEP contributed to this year’s State of the Sector report by On Think Tanks, which provides a comprehensive look at the global think tank sector.
This On Think Tanks publication is based on data from a global survey of think tanks. This report was compiled on behalf of On Think Tanks (OTT) by Once Once, using the Open Think Tank Directory database and information provided by 21 partner organisations. For the first time, this year’s survey allowed respondents to remain anonymous at an organisational level.
The 2024 report offers insights into the characteristics, structure, staffing, income, and geographical scope of participating think tanks. It also examines a number of political
and funding contexts to understand how these factors influence think tanks’ organisational independence and levels of policy impact. For example, it explores how different political regimes and degrees of polarisation affect think tanks’ research and outreach efforts and assesses think tanks’ priorities, agendas, and capacity to influence policy outcomes within different contexts.
