Overview

Our Mission; GTTN was officially registered as a non-profit society in 2014, and was established to address the most pressing issues related to national comprehensive socioeconomic development, by leveraging the pool of intellectual, financial, social, and industrial capital, by bringing together industry, academia, and government (triple-helix framework). Initially housed at the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), as an independent, non-partisan policy research, and advocacy center, GTTN quickly grew in scope and leveraging NUST human and physical capital, successfully grew in to an influential think tank for the nation. As part of its restructuring we moved offices in 2018 and narrowed our areas of research to specialize on security, economics, and the climate change and the environment as the three most pressing issues of our time. Leadership and Governance: In order to fulfill its mandate, enhance impact, and build a regional constituency for sustainable socioeconomic development GTTN works with and through an extended and diversified network of local, national, regional, and international partner organizations.
