Inclusive Green Economy in Practice Program

Overview

The program aims to strengthen national systems for an inclusive green economy, with a focus on developing the capacity for research-policy interaction and enhanced use of evidence-based policy making. 

The Inclusive Green Economy (IGE) in Practice Program is a capacity development initiative for senior civil servants and policymakers in Eastern Africa. The goal of this program is to support countries in their transition to an Inclusive Green Economy (IGE). This is achieved through increased knowledge and application of economic and environmental policy instruments, organizational change and strengthened national systems for inclusive and sustainable economic development. The program connects civil servants with local researchers in environmental economics to improve the economic tools and policies to achieve a transition to a green economy. 

The program offers trainings, technical advice, practical work, and peer learning among the civil servants that participate in the program (so-called IGE Fellows).
