About Think Tank IGO
A proposal for shared knowledge and public benefit
The initiative is at a proposal stage. Government membership, formal establishment, headquarters and the governing instrument remain to be discussed and agreed by prospective participating states.
Governments and public institutions are the primary focus. Civil society, communities, experts and responsible organizations may contribute knowledge or raise challenges within a lawful civilian advisory mandate.
Our mission
To support better public decisions by connecting governments and institutions with independent knowledge relevant to socioeconomic challenges.
Our vision
A trusted intergovernmental forum where knowledge is shared responsibly, sovereignty is respected and advice serves people’s long-term wellbeing.
A proposed intergovernmental structure
The draft model envisages an assembly of member states, a governing council, an executive secretariat, specialist advisory councils, and independent ethics and audit oversight. These bodies do not yet exist and would require formal agreement through a founding instrument.
Our principles

Public benefit
Consider how an engagement can improve lives and opportunities.

Global experience with local understanding
Every state and community has its own priorities. Advice should respect sovereignty, local knowledge and the authority of responsible institutions.
