Welcome to IPD's Policymaker Resource Guide. The Initiative for Policy Dialogue welcomes your interest. IPD works with policymakers at all levels and we are excited to share our resources with you. We have tried to make this website as useful and user-friendly as possible. This is a guide on how to use our website and how to find the materials and resources most relevant to your needs.
Our Task Force Overview Chapters have been put together specifically with the policymaker in mind. These volumes' aim is to enhance the quality of policy dialogue on a range of economics issues. Task Force Overview Chapters summarize the literature and present policy alternatives on each issue in a non-partisan manner. They explain why there is so much disagreement on many of the issues, why so many current policies have failed, and what the latest ideas and research on alternative solutions are. Because not everyone is familiar with academic jargon or concepts our Overview Chapters are written in language accessible to everyone. Additionally, Task Force Companion Chapters and Working Papers go into greater detail on specific areas of interest.
For those interested in specific countries IPD also organizes Country Dialogues. In cooperation with in-country partners, IPD convenes forums that bring together diverse stakeholders, including senior government officials, members of Parliament, NGO's, labor, academia, business communities, think tanks and the media. Browse our reports of past Country Dialogues for more information on our recent visits.
In addition, visit the News/Opinions page to consider IPD-related news items and IPD experts' opinions on the latest developments in global economics.

The Task Forces serve to provide the information needed to expand the discussion on economic policy in developing countries.
