Inclusive Growth (IG)
This course, which is presented by the Institute for Capacity Development (ICD), is designed to increase participants’ understanding of inclusive growth and give them analytical and operational tools—such as the Inclusive Growth Dashboard—to evaluate, measure, and monitor how macroeconomic policies can affect growth, poverty, inequality, and job creation. It also covers the challenges to inclusion from longer-term structural trends such as demographics and climate change. Lectures introduce the basic concepts of inclusive growth, with a special focus on long-term sustainability, while workshops offer participants an opportunity to apply the concepts and think about the design of inclusive growth strategies, drawing from country case studies.
