About Kandifo Insttute
Kandifo Institute was established as a response to creating a new permanent order in Ghana.
As a Public Policy Think Tank which advocates in a very practical way, influencing policies that facilitate and sustain conservatism as a guiding ideology of preference. It exists to promote a development path that is traditionally rested on an organic conception of society based on the belief that society is a living organism comprising closely connected, interdependent members.
Kandifo Institute believes that through its research, National policy dialogues, private sector development, and developing a productive youth, we will shape and nurture the development destiny of Ghana.
One of its goals and objectives as a youth-led, youth-oriented think tank is to build and develop the youth to imbibe conservative leadership elements to prepare them as leaders and builders of the future based upon the established foundation of a stable society.
As a think tank, mentoring the youth is one of its key areas of focus. By this, it has established a leadership programme where experienced professions would be linked to selected youth to mentor them in leadership in line with the tenets of the conservative tradition and particularly to be savvy and able to communicate on critical national issues on governance and economy.
