This course is designed to demonstrate how to conduct development policy research of direct application to a multilateral lending program through a semester-long development research project focused on Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries in association with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The course offers a series of overview lectures on multilateral lending and faculty-guided team research on the course’s preselected research topics (please refer to the syllabus). Course deliverables will consist of one individual brief and two group outputs: a topic-centered team research paper and a formal team presentation at the IDB. This course is part of a series of joint initiatives between the IDB and SAIS under the IDB’s Office of Outreach and Partnerships.
