INTERNATIONAL PARLIAMENTARY CONFERENCE
GROWTH FOR DEVELOPMENT
Houses of Parliament, London, UK
What does good economic growth look like? How do nations ensure that the
benefits of growth reach the most vulnerable? How can legislators influence
governments to deliver? Why do strong institutions matter?

experts and academics for an International Parliamentary Conference
focused on the crucial role that institutions and legislators have to play in
shaping and monitoring economic policies.
In the heart of the Westminster Parliament, this is an unrivalled opportunity
for learning, exchanging ideas and building capacity to engage on the
