Training Program

Mid-level to senior officials involved in economic and strategic planning, including the monitoring and evaluating of policies aimed at reducing poverty and inequality, addressing the distributional impacts of technological change and promoting job creation.

Participants are expected to have a degree in economics or social sciences or equivalent experience.

This course aims to deepen participants' understanding of inclusive growth and equip them with analytical and operational tools-such as the Inclusive Growth Dashboard-to assess how macroeconomic policies affect growth, poverty, inequality, and job creation. It addresses economic opportunities and challenges arising from longer-term structural trends, including technological change (e.g., artificial intelligence), and demographic shifts. Lectures cover key concepts and metrics of inclusive growth, as well as fiscal, financial, and structural policies that support it - particularly those related to labor markets, human capital, and sustainable growth. Interactive workshops provide participants with hands-on experience in applying these concepts and designing inclusive growth strategies, drawing on country case studies.
