iiG is a DFID funded research consortium investigating how improving institutions can impact on poverty
Established in 2007, Improving Institutions for Growth (iiG) was a Department for International Development (DfID) Research Programme Consortium focusing on pro-poor growth and poverty reduction in Africa and South Asia.
iiG was organised as an international network of applied research institutes across Africa, Asia, the USA and Europe. It aimed to generate new insights about institutions’ influence on pro-poor growth through an innovative programme of research, capacity building, and dissemination. The iiG programme closed in 2016. DfID was dissolved in 2020 when the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office was created.
