Center on International Development & Governance | Practice Areas

The Center on International Development and Governance focuses its work on several main practice areas which reach across all levels of government and concern both urban and rural areas. Each of these thematic areas can be further broken down into specific areas of technical expertise within IDG. The depth and breadth of our experience in these practice areas is critical, as real-world policy reforms often draw on more than one of these inter-related areas of expertise at the same time.
