ABOUT US

ABOUT US

Established in 2007, Improving Institutions for Growth (iiG)  is a DfID Research Programme Consortium focusing on pro-poor growth and poverty reduction in Africa and South Asia.

iiG is organised as an international network of applied research institutes across Africa, Asia, the USA and Europe. It aims 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. 

More details can be found in the iiG Concepts and Framework section.
