Growth Week

Growth Week is the annual conference of the International Growth Centre (IGC), based at the London School of Economics. Occurring from 19-21 September 2011, Growth Week 2011 brought together the IGC's international network of scholars, institutional partners and policy makers in partner countries in Africa and South Asia to report on recent developments and highlight the emerging policy questions in country contexts.

The formal sessions of Growth Week were a mixture of ten research themes focused on policy audiences (Agriculture, Climate Change, Environment and Natural Resources, Finance, Firm Capabilities, Governance, Accountability and Political Economy, Human Capital, Infrastructure and Urbanisation, Macroecononics, State Capabilities and Trade) and eleven country programme sessions (Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana, India Central and Bihar, Mozambique, Pakistan, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Zambia). The sessional framework was enveloped by space for networking and side-line meetings to discuss fresh ideas on the interface of research and policy. In the evenings, there were three public sessions, featuring a range of distinguished speakers.

All Growth Week 2011 sessions will be available below.
