The Institute of Policy Research has established a reputation for world-class training and capacity building that combines both worlds: on-site and online, providing flexibility to our trainees. The Institute leads the way in the provision of continuous professional training for trade and tax policy practitioners from the public and private sector seeking to develop their knowledge on a particular trade policy or tax policy topic. You and your colleagues can benefit from this training direct from your workplace; thanks to our e-courses, high-quality e-presentations. They’re all focused on delivering a transformational learning experience.
Trade Policy Courses
The Institute’s trade policy courses are designed around two main tracks, one for “generalists” who are interested in gaining wider knowledge of the working of international trade and another for “specialists” who are eager to develop their knowledge on a particular agreement or trade topic.
Macro-Economic Models
In the face of escalating global uncertainties and challenges confronting African economies, evidence-based policy decision making—grounded in reality as much as is possible

The Institute’s Tax Policy and Tax Administration training program provides participants with practical tools, and systematic examples of their application to help participants formulate more appropriate tax policies to meet their national objectives, and tax administration for their unique environments.
Research Methods
The systematic approaches and techniques used to collect, analyze, and interpret data for academic or professional studies.
