Opportunity for top performers to qualify for the Advanced CGE Training (December 2025) and the IIDS Annual Policy Conclave 2025
Building Regional Capacity for Climate and Economic Policy
Since 2001, IFPRI and its partners have trained over 500 researchers from 30 countries in CGE modeling. This year’s program continues that legacy by strengthening the capacity of South Asian researchers and policy analysts to generate evidence-based insights for climate-resilient development.
Stay tuned for updates from the training and outcomes from participant research.
