Programme Objectives
The processes of global economic integration bring with them both challenges and opportunities for developing countries, as their growth dynamics depend increasingly on the external economic environment. In particular, policies of multilateral organizations such as the WTO, the World Bank and IMF, other UN bodies, regional development banks and regional associations/blocs have an important bearing on their development prospects. The developing countries in general lack of capabilities to analyze the implications of emerging global trends for their economic growth. This adversely affects their ability to influence the outcomes of the international negotiations for protecting their interests and adopting policies to maximize advantages and minimize adjustment costs.
The objective of IEIDP Programme is to contribute to the building of analytical capacity in developing countries in the realm of international development policy. The Programme includes capacity building in areas such as global trading system and the WTO, international monetary and financial systems, South-South cooperation, regional economic cooperation, foreign direct investment and multinational enterprises, technology transfer and new technology in development, development policy reforms, among others. The Programme is expected to equip the participants with capabilities to understand and systematically analyze the implications of different global economic trends for their home countries and to work out suitable policy options and responses.
