The Central Africa region faces complex socio-political, economic, and governance challenges. These include slow democratic reforms, rising inequality, underdevelopment, and limited participation of civil society in policy-making processes. As countries in the region strive to implement the African Union\u2019s Agenda 2063 and the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the role of think tanks and civil society organizations (CSOs) in driving informed public policy and governance reforms has never been more critical.<\/span><\/p>\n Think tanks and CSOs act as bridges between citizens and governments, offering research-based evidence, innovative solutions, and advocacy for inclusive policymaking.
