Description
1) Objective
IGC and STEG are pleased to announce £2,000 awards for exceptional case studies that identify and describe a pressing policy problem or market failure that is related to promoting sustainable economic growth in developing countries. Sustainable growth refers to countries developing their potential in an inclusive way that improves social, environmental, and economic well-being for all, including for future generations.
Case studies are brief and largely non-technical essays (about 10-15 pages, double spaced), utilizing country-specific expertise, to describe a policy problem and identify opportunities for research. These might be specific and well-documented examples of a market failure or a policy problem – but ideally the cases should have broad relevance across developing countries. They are particularly interested in case studies in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
2) Eligibility
They accept applications from a wide and inclusive pool of researchers, including PhD students and early career-researchers in economics or related disciplines (e.g. public policy, political science), as well as policymakers, civil society organisations, practitioners, and think-tanks. Candidates from developing countries are especially encouraged to apply.
3) Location
Please note that an important criterion for funding of proposals is the relevance to policy in low-income countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Proposals focused on middle- and/or high-income countries need to make a clear case for the relevance of the research to policy in specific low-income countries.
4) Budget
Grants range up to £2,000.
5) Application
Deadline is 20 November 2023.
