IGC

International Growth Centre (IGC) (http://www.theigc.org/) was established in 2008 with funding by the UK government’s Department for International Development (DFID), the International Growth Centre (IGC) aims to promote sustainable growth in developing countries by providing demand-led policy advice based on frontier research. Based in the London School of Economics and Political Science in partnership with the University of Oxford, the IGC directs a global network of over 1,000 world-leading researchers and 15 in-country teams in 14 countries throughout Africa and South Asia. The IGC works closely with partner governments to generate high quality research and policy advice on key growth challenges. In 2014 the IGC refocused to four new research themes (Phase II): States, Firms, Cities, and Energy.
