Training has underpinned our work since we were established and is the activity that connects all our work. Training is where the learning from research, implementation and advisory work finds a coherent and useful form, relevant to others trying to make sense of complex development challenges.
Our ‘Making Market Systems Work’ Training Programme focuses on how to make development more effective, achieving greater impact, inclusiveness, scale and sustainability. We have trained over 2,500 people from more than 100 countries to date.
