Countries

The IGC has active country programs in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana, India (Bihar), Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Mozambique and Rwanda, and is in talks with several other governments in Africa and South Asia. For each partner country, the IGC supports a team of resident and visiting economists who respond to specific policy demands from countries on issues of economic growth. This covers long-term research as well as rapid responses to pressing policy issues. Examples of country work include research on money demand, growth and inequality in Tanzania and industrial mapping work in Ethiopia.

IGC country teams, often based in the offices of governments or think tanks, also work closely with local researchers, the private sector, civil society organisations and stakeholders to ensure our work meets the needs of the country.
