Poverty, inequality and uneven growth remain among the toughest challenges facing governments and development institutions today. This Economic and Social Development Strategies Training Course by the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy starts from that reality, helping participants understand why some economies advance while others struggle, before moving into the theory and tools used to measure and address the gap.

Across the sessions, participants examine real indicators of human development, debate the policy choices governments face when tackling poverty and social inequality, and review best practices that can be applied to bridge the divide between economic growth and genuine social progress.
