International Development
Certificate Program
The Graduate Certificate in International Development Policy
& Management focuses on problems that undermine the
health, stability, freedom, and prosperity of citizens in
developing countries. Understanding the roots of these problems;
the social, economic and political contexts in which they
occur; and the tools available to address them is fundamental
for devising effective long-term solutions. This certificate
program equips UW graduate students from a variety of disciplines
with the conceptual framework and practical tools needed
to become effective development practitioners. The program
is designed to complement graduate degrees in the social
and natural sciences or professional programs.

of information technology (IT) to developing world problems
for students and international Fellows at the UW Evans School
of Public Affairs. The NTLP program offers classes in IT
for low resource environments, Innovation Grants to implement
an IT project in a developing world NGO or public agency,
and Project Assessments that document best practices and
develop teaching materials for future courses. Faculty-student
research collaborations assess the projects, resulting in
case studies and articles for publication, and Service Learning

from the private sector travel to select countries to assist
in the project implementation.
