Duke Center for International Development
The Duke Center for International Development (DCID) is located in Duke's Terry
Sanford Institute of Public Policy. The center's core faculty are drawn from a variety of
academic disciplines including economics, political science, environmental studies, public
policy, gender studies and peace and conflict resolution. The faculty's teaching, research,
and consulting experience are international in scope, encompassing a broad range of
development policy issues.
The center consists of four distinct components: 1). The Program in International
Development Policy (PIDP), which provides graduate-level education in policy and
economic analysis and problems related to sustainable development for mid-career
professionals. PIDP Fellows may pursue either a Master’s degree or non-degree certificate
in International Development Policy; 2). Executive Education programs on issues related
to public finance and sustainable development; 3). The Rotary Center for International
Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution, one of seven centers in the world funded by
Rotary International and hosted jointly by DCID and the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill's Center for International Studies; and 4). Overseas advising to governments
in developing countries in the fields of public finance, project appraisal, and development.
DCID also sponsors conferences, a monthly "Rethinking Development Policy"
speaker series, and co-sponsors the North Carolina Triangle Chapter of the Society for
International Development. For additional information about the graduate program, email
