Overview

Discover how to make the changes to accelerate development growth

Why are some countries rich and others poor? Why are some governed well and others badly? Why are some cohesive and others conflicted? This programme will give you a deeper understanding of these issues and enhance your ability to design, monitor and evaluate policies, programmes and projects in societies at different levels of development.

The programme provides an interdisciplinary and critical approach to the theories and practices being used to address problems of governance, economic growth, equity and stability, and social inclusion in the Global South.
