Task Force Programs
  Overview  
IPD has created expert task forces that provide overviews of policy alternatives to inform government officials and civil society. IPD task forces represent an international collaborative effort aimed at enhancing the quality of policy dialogue in developing countries over key economic issues. Each task force is co-directed by experts from both the North and the South. Because of IPD's linkages to the international academic community, to civil society organizations in the South, and to governments in the North and South it is well-situated to contribute to the kind of policy analysis that is required if developing countries are to forge strategies that will promote sustainable, equitable, and democratic growth.
