π Tender Overview
Scope :
The IDB will help to develop and launch a new Fiscal Research Center at The University of the West Indies (UWI), in partnership with the Government of Jamaica. The objectives are to partner with the Caribbean region's main University to identify economic and fiscal policy and institutional issues with the potential to drive faster and more inclusive growth across the region. This TC will finance a direct partnership between the IDB's Vice Presidency for Countries, the Caribbean Country Department and relevant IDB Divisions to produce and disseminate policy-oriented research jointly with UWI researchers, other experts and policy practitioners from around the region. This TC will also finance joint IDB-UWI development of curricula for advanced graduate programs in economic and public finance policy, as well as focused courses that can serve as capacity building for practitioners (e.g., public servants) from across the region.
