Duke Center For International Development

The Duke Center for International Development (DCID), a unit within Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy, focuses on promoting sustainable development and peace through its research, education, and engagement with students, policy makers, practitioners, development partners, civil society and the private sector. We offer the Master of International Development Policy (MIDP) degree program for mid-career professionals pursuing careers in policymaking and public service in developing countries; custom and open-enrollment Executive Education programs for mid-career and senior-level public policy professionals; short- and long-term advising in public finance and development management; and a Certificate in International Development Policy for full-time graduate/professional students at Duke. We also co-host the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center, one of seven Rotary Peace Centers in the world, and maintain close collaborations with the World Bank, USAID and other international and bilateral agencies, as well as with consulting firms, foundations, universities, NGOs and national governments.
