 These
pages provide information on the e-consultations held with
African think tanks and non-state organisations in Summer
2004 on the work of the Africa Commission. The consultations
were mediated by the Overseas Development Institute.
ODI was commissioned by the Africa
Commission to undertake a dialogue with African think tanks
and non-state organisations to seek their guidance on the
Commission's work. This began with an initial
electronic dialogue to run in parallel with a similar
electronic consultation being undertaken among NGOs and African
Diaspora in the UK by BOND and BOAG (see details
of BOND and BOAG consultation on the Commission's website
and BOND's
webpage on this).
