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 biannual 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 2,000 people from more than 100 countries to date.
On a highly selective basis, we also offer bespoke training courses on specific aspects the market systems development approach, including monitoring and evaluation.
