Great Lakes Institute for Strategic Studies Limited (GLiSS)

The Great Lakes institute for Strategic Studies (GLiSS) is an independent policy think tank with exclusive programming on regional and international public policy issues.

The establishment of GLiSS addresses a major gap in the current landscape of think tanks in the Great Lakes sub-region. The Great Lakes sub-region is confronted with major policy and strategic challenges amidst growing opportunities and optimism.

However, the sub-region still lacks think tanks that are dedicated to further the understanding of complex regional issues and development policy responses to emerging policy challenges. Most of the think tanks in the sub-region are national in character or mainly pursue national policy agenda.
