Dr. Ebere Uneze and Drusilla David, CSEA, joined representatives of 12 other African think tanks in Nairobi, Kenya from April 28 to April 30, 2014 for the second phase of the TTIPEC programme.

The TTIPEC programmeis aimed at helping leading think tanks in Africa develop skills and strategies for effective communications that will facilitate the dissemination of research findings to inform and influence policy in their respective countries. The programme also provided an opportunity for think tanks to engage in peer-learning.

The workshop featured different sessions including:
- Mapping Areas of Greatest Progress in Communications
