KDI has consistently contributed to the government’s policy making and implementation, and based on KDI’s four decade long research and development consulting experience, our school has been educating public officials and private sector managers from around the globe by providing strategic tools to deal with the growing complexities of the modern world.

The KDI School is committed to establishing a dynamic framework for knowledge-sharing, where outstanding teaching and research can directly support balanced, sustainable growth in the developing world. To this aim we provide a work environment conducive to academic creativity, offering financial support for research, subsidizing trips to overseas conferences, and reducing teaching loads for tenure-track faculty members.
