Growth, jobs, trade, investment
Our work includes evaluating the performance of funds set up for job creation and catalysing innovation around it, while also developing policies to tackle unemployment. We evaluate projects intended to increase trade and ensure transparent and inclusive growth.
While growth is clearly an engine for poverty reduction, governments should retain the ability to assess potential growth strategies holistically. This can be achieved by using intelligent modelling and growth diagnostics to evaluate the potential consequences of those strategies on society, particularly the most vulnerable.
