Contract Ref: 8426
Title: International Growth Center phase 3

Description
DFID’s Growth and Resilience Department is contracting a supplier for the management and implementation of Phase 3 of the International Growth Centre (IGC) Programme. The IGC was launched in 2008 in response to recommendations from the Growth Commission. The IGC aims to influence policy through high quality, independent and evidence-based policy advice to developing countries. This is delivered through the provision of: a) world-class, policy-relevant research; and b) sustained engagement with policy-makers in developing countries. The current contract (Phase 2) will end in September 2019. Over the last 10 years the IGC has established itself as a credible partner to governments on growth related issues. It has commissioned approximately 1000 projects, had at least 59 peer reviewed journal publications and delivered over 500 instances of demonstrable policy impact. The IGC creates global public goods that are not only beneficial to the countries they serve but add to global debates on growth. The IGC’s network of country offices has been critical to building relationships with policy makers. It currently has a network of offices in 11 countries[1] and is engaging with a further 6 countries. Phase 3 of the IGC will help developing countries implement effective inclusive growth policies, in order to lift their citizens out of poverty. The programme will provide rigorous, policy-relevant research; and independent, demand-led policy advice directly to country governments on key priority areas identified in DFID’s 2017 Economic Development Strategy: economic governance; trade and productivity; cities and infrastructure; and energy. The intended impact of the programme is ‘IGC supported policy change improves conditions for higher rates of economic growth’. The expected outcome of the programme is ‘credible growth policies changed and implemented in developing countries.’ Drawing on world-leading experts and institutions, the IGC will be a flagship of the UK’s offer on global prosperity. By 2026 the IGC should be recognised as a centre of knowledge on inclusive growth, able to attract significant funding from sources other than DFID.
