Reform Economic Policy and Governance
IBI's policy and governance work spans financial management, fiscal systems, anti-corruption, poverty reduction, and competitiveness at regional, national, and local levels, particularly in, Change management, Institutional capacity building, and Competitiveness.

Streamline Fiscal Systems
Efficient and transparent fiscal management is perhaps the most vital element of improved economic governance.

Computerize Governments and Firms
IBI reengineers business and institutional processes, then computerizes them to enhance communications and efficiency. Where full reengineering is not feasible or too expensive we have had great success with bottom-up computerization and incrementally enhancing productivity.

Attract Trade and Investment
Export-led trade, increased domestic marketing, and attracting investment have become vital to efforts to increase economic growth.

Develop Value Chains and Clusters
IBI experience suggests that value chains in developing countries are no longer narrowly geographically limited and can extend beyond national boundaries—it also confirms that successful clusters arise when potential members perceive real value from greater collaboration, and not before.

Build Sustainable Mining-Driven Economies
Both industrial and small scale, artisanal mining (ASM) contribute to sustainable economic growth. IBI assists governments and miners to create jobs, diversify rural employment, and raise incomes. We bring to bear global best practices in sector analysis, extractive industries law, fiscal policy for the mining and petroleum sectors, mining cadastre modernization, and artisanal mining administration.

Mainstream Gender
IBI focuses on the business case for gender mainstreaming. It is not just a euphemism for advancing women we examine constraints and opportunities for both men and women, finding creative ways to cooperate for the success of organizations in which all have a stake.

Monitor, Evaluate, and Share Knowledge
IBI believes that successful monitoring and evaluation begins with a clear understanding of project objectives. Both qualitative and quantitative measures are necessary to analyze progress and impact.
