A new report has ranked the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (Kippra) the second-best think tank in sub-Saharan Africa.
The African Centre for Constructive Resolution of Disputes (Accord), based in South Africa, was ranked top.
The ranking was done by the Global Go-To Think Tank Index Report 2020, an annual document by the Think Tank and Civil Societies Programme of the Lauder Institute at the University of Pennsylvania. The index is meant to raise the profile and performance of think tanks, as well as the role they play in public awareness.

Fit-again former World cross country champion Geoffrey Kamworor will be aiming for an eighth National Police cross country title as the red-hot Sheila Chelangat seeks to maintain her supremacy at the law enforcers meet tomorrow at Ngong Race Course.
Former World Half Marathon record holder Kamworor is back in shape after a motorbike accident in June last year left him with head and ankle injuries that saw him miss the World Half Marathon Championships, in a year shredded by the Covid-19 pandemic.
