Abstract:
The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) commissioned the Institute of International Education (IIE) to carry out a comprehensive evaluation to inform its second strategic objective—Building the Leaders for Today and Tomorrow—and to evaluate IDRC’s investments in strengthening the capacity of graduate students and early‐career researchers to be leaders in their fields. This Summary Brief provides a high‐level overview on the ways in which IDRC supports leadership, contributions to individual leadership development and project‐level outcomes, and considerations for future programming.
