About us
OUR STORY - SENDING TOP TALENT TO SOLVE DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES AROUND THE WORLD Governments across the globe have enormous potential and drive, but many face immense social and economic hurdles. Public sectors seek high-impact, scalable ways to address development challenges that can be implemented effectively. An incredible opportunity exists to create social impact interventions that really make a difference, and graduates from top universities around the world are passionate about doing exactly this kind of work. That's why the IIC, a program based at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy, sends top talent to work with government organizations on year long fellowships that implement innovative solutions to important development problems. HOW IT WORKS - The IIC recruits top-performing graduates of leading host-country universities and the University of Chicago and organises them into teams of up to 5 Project Associates. Project Associates train for 5 weeks in skills required to translate their academic and professional knowledge into on-the-ground contributions. The IIC embeds each team within a government office to work on an innovative development project with a discrete, tractable scope for a year. The IIC provides light-touch managers and mentors to help teams of Project Associates achieve their projects’ goals. A UNIQUE MODEL - The IIC's distinct model leverages global talent and government resources in a new way. This model has three defining features: -IIC Project Associates work in teams to foster entrepreneurial collaboration. -IIC teams work directly with the government, to ensure projects address official priorities. -IIC projects create scalable solutions, in order to maximise impact.

🚀 IIC's Transformative Training Program 🚀 We recently completed our bi-annual training program for our 2024-25 cohort of 36 fellows, designed to tackle complex development challenges. In collaboration with the Indian School of Public Policy (ISPP), participants gained valuable insights on Monitoring & Evaluation, Stakeholder Management, Data-Driven Narratives, Policy and Governance Distinguished speakers, including Luis Miranda , Rajeev Kapoor, Nandita Banerjee , Nikita Hira , Neeraj Trivedi and Rajiv Datt led thought-provoking sessions. Hands-on activities helped teams apply their learnings to real-world contexts, while team-building moments, like badminton games, reinforced camaraderie. The program has strengthened our commitment to advancing impactful solutions in development. 🌍 Parth Shah | Anup Malani | Surbhi Arul | Neha Mehra | Shashwat Khemani | Pratham Education Foundation | ASER | The BORBHAG Group | UChicago Center in Delhi #Innovation #Leadership #SocialImpact #IIC #WeAreIIC #Teamwork

🌐 Shaping an Inclusive AI Future🌐 We’re thrilled to share that our session, “Enabling AI for All, AI by All,” on 9th December at the India Internet Governance Forum (IIGF) 2024 has been officially recognised as part of the ‘Road to the AI Action Summit’ initiative! This initiative seeks to consolidate events centered on the future of AI governance, serving as a catalyst for discussions at France's AI Action Summit in February 2025. The session delved into AI's potential to drive societal impact and foster inclusion. The distinguished panel shared insights on how AI can empower underserved communities, reduce inequalities, and bridge societal divides. Here are the key themes that emerged: ✨ Inclusive AI Governance to tackle bias and ensure equity. ✨ Leveraging India's Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) as a model for accessibility. ✨ Prioritizing AI skilling and gender inclusivity in tech ecosystems. ✨ Empowering marginalized communities as not just users but creators in the AI lifecycle. 💡 Takeaway: AI must serve all of humanity, not just the privileged. Together, let's design a future where AI drives inclusion, equity, and opportunity for everyone.
