The Institute for Development Policy and Management, established in 1958, is the UK’s largest University-based International Development Studies department, with over seventy Manchester-based professional, administrative and associated staff.
Its objective is to promote social and economic development, particularly within lower-income countries and for disadvantaged groups, by enhancing the capabilities of individuals and organisations through education, training, consultancy, research and policy analysis.
In recent years it has been increasingly recognised that the quality of policy and institutional design represents a key constraint to development. The Institute offers, within a friendly and supportive atmosphere, the services of a wide range of people specialising in the practical problems of policy formulation and implementation, organisational design and management, backed up by specialist library and computing facilities and by forty-five years of institutional experience.
