What framework is needed to ensure sustainable development and an effective distribution of wealth that generates equality of opportunities for the person and for societies?

This is the question that matters the most to us in the IEDM program, and that we believe is the motive that drives you to pursue your career in development.

Through interaction with colleagues, faculty and leadership in economic development we prepare you to overcome the challenges faced in achieving sustainable development in the public and private context at the local, national and international level. It takes a great level of commitment, wisdom, magnanimity, and passion to become an agent of change, i.e., an IEDM student.
