Center For Public Policy Alternatives
The Center for Public Policy Alternatives (CPPA) is an independent, non-partisan public policy think-tank committed to rigorous research through which public policies and processes are examined, supported and best practices disseminated. The CPPA aims to help sub-Saharan governments and their agencies realize the goal of rapid development and a prosperous future for their citizens.

Objectives
CPPA aims to promote proactive research that is not limited to current affairs across a broad range of subjects and is independent of immediate or obvious demand with the hope of: * Strengthening the decision-making capacity of government by transmitting policy-relevant information derived from high quality research and analysis to policymakers. *    Creating an informed citizenry through public education about key issues and choices. *    Facilitating the dialogue between policymakers and their constituencies. *    Strengthening civil society by providing a forum for discussion and analysis. *    Identifying, articulating and evaluating current or emerging issues and provide alternative solutions. *    Stimulating public debate by adding high-quality research and analysis to the voice of the people in order to bring about policy change. *    Serving as an informed and independent voice in policy debates. *    Providing a constructive forum for the exchange of ideas and information between key stakeholders in the policy formulation process. *    Ensuring continuity of programs even after departure of development partners or program funders *
