Background:
USAID’s Bureau for Inclusive Growth, Innovation and Partnership (IPI) fosters economic transformation and growth together with partner country governments and local communities to build stable, strong and inclusive economies. The Center’s successful partnerships include regional, national and local institutions, governments, private sector investors, development assistance organizations including multilateral development banks, financial institutions, the Interagency and other donors fostering economic development. As the Agency lead on Inclusive Economic Growth, IPI prioritizes climate action and sustainable transformation to address global concerns through economic and trade policies, legal and regulatory frameworks, programs creating stable enabling environments for businesses and investors, and technical assistance that builds lasting capacity for successful and continuous climate action.
IPI has determined there is a great need for technical training of USAID staff on the intersection of climate change, economic growth and transformation, and finance as missions help partners address climate risks, vulnerabilities, and development threats at the local, national, regional, and global levels. Economic growth is measured per capita while economic transformation encompasses sustainability, equity, and types and sources of growth.
