CODESRIA, Senegal
CODESRIA, the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa is headquartered in Dakar Senegal. It was established in 1973 as an independent Pan-African research organisation with a primary focus on the social sciences, broadly defined. It is recognised not only as the pioneer African social research organisation but also as the apex non-governmental centre of social knowledge production on the continent. In 2016 the 2016 Global Go-To Think Tanks Index published by the Lauder Institute of the University of Pennsylvania ranked CODESRIA as the best think tank in Sub-Saharan Africa.
