Development and Economic Growth Research Programme

The Development and Economic Growth Research Programme (DEGRP) funds world-class scientific research on inclusive economic growth in low-income countries (LICs). The programme’s principal aim is to generate policy-relevant research on four key areas: financial sector development and growth; agriculture and growth; innovation and growth; and China’s engagement in sub-Saharan African countries. The programme is funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).

Since the programme was established in 2012, ODI has been contracted by ESRC to provide an Evidence and Policy Group (EPG) for the programme, to help get research into use. The group works to ensure that programme research is effectively synthesised, communicated, and used to influence policy and practice around inclusive growth in LICs. 

The Evidence and Policy Group is led by Louise Shaxson and draws on expertise from three ODI programmes: International Economic Development Growth (IEDG), Climate and Sustainability (CAS), and Digital Societies.
