Asian Think Tanks

Collaboration with regional think tanks and research institutes is a critical part of ADBI’s strategic approach for contributing to the ongoing development research and policy dialogue in the region.

In June 2007, ADBI organized a workshop for its knowledge partners from 32 think tanks and research institutes across the Asia-Pacific region. The participants spent four days in Tokyo strengthening their institute's knowledge management and knowledge sharing strategies and exploring opportunities to increase synergy and achieve greater policy impact for development in Asia.

These think tanks are collaborating with ADBI to develop feature articles on their respective institutes.

ADBI's Think Tank Directory is a guide to the leading Asia-Pacific think tanks working on development and economics. The directory provides contact details and program summaries of over 70 think tanks from 26 countries in the Asia-Pacific that are primarily involved in development research.
