The International Growth Centre (IGC)

The International Growth Centre (IGC) “promotes sustainable growth in developing countries by providing demand-led policy advice based on frontier research”. The IGC is directed and organized from hubs at the London School of Economics and the University of Oxford, and comprises country offices across the developing world and a global network of partners. The IGC was initiated by and is funded by DFID (Department for International Development). Research is carried out across ten programmes from agriculture to trade, while country based information currently features Ethiopia, Ghana and Tanzania. The website includes more information on the work, events and people of the IGC, as well as listing recent documents, audio interviews and news items.
