The Institute for Security Studies, also known as ISS or ISS Africa (to distinguish itself from other similarly named institutes in other parts of the world), described itself as follows: "an African organisation which aims to enhance human security on the continent. It does independent and authoritative research, provides expert policy analysis and advice, and delivers practical training and technical assistance."[2] Their areas of research include transnational crimes, migration, maritime security, development, peacekeeping, peacebuilding, crime prevention, criminal justice, conflict analysis and governance.[2] It is the largest independent research institute in Africa dealing with human security[3] and is headquartered in Pretoria, South Africa, with offices in Kenya, Ethiopia and Senegal.[4][5] In 2019, it was ranked 116th by the Global Go To Think Tanks Report and 55th among think tanks outside the United States.[6]
