ODI Global (formerly Overseas Development Institute)[1] is a global affairs think tank, founded in 1960.
History
In 1960, ODI began in small premises in Regent's Park of Central London. At the time, ODI operated a library devoted to international development issues and also performed consultancy work and contracts with the Department for International Development of the UK government.[2] Since then, the organization has moved several times and is as of 2025[update] headquartered on Blackfriars Road.[3]
In 2007, the ODI was named 'Think Tank of the Year' by Public Affairs News magazine.[4] It was named 'Think-tank to Watch' in the Prospect 'Think-tank of the Year' awards in 2005 and is considered in international policy circles to be one of the world's leading think tanks on development.[5]
It celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2010, with guests including former ODI Fellow and UK Business Secretary, Vince Cable.[6][7]
Criticism
David Steven of Global Dashboard criticized the ODI in 2013 for not making the distinction between subsidy and having a lower VAT rate on fuel compared to other goods.[8]
