Custom Programs
DCID designs and delivers customized educational and training programs
for organizations and government agencies from developing and transition countries. Drawing from the world-renowned faculty at Duke’s Sanford School of Public Policy and the Duke Center for International Development, these programs are designed to meet the specific capacity-building needs of our clients. Programs can range in duration from three days to a full academic semester, and can take place in-country and/or at Duke University. Depending on client needs, programs focus on a particular public policy topic or can encompass a broad range of policy areas and management skills.
Past programs have included an 18-week executive development course for senior officers of the Government of China and a 13-week course for senior officers from the Republic of Kazakhstan, a three-week foreign direct investment workshop for the Tianjin Economic Development Area, an eight-week program for officers of the Indian Administrative Service, and a four-week program for provincial civil service officers of the Government of Uttar Pradesh in India, and a one-week program on Fiscal Policy and Management and a four-week program in applied cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis for senior USAID officials.
