Student Workshop: Inclusive and Sustainable Growth Beyond GDP in Zambia

As the push intensifies for countries to go "beyond GDP" when measuring progress and building more sustainable public policies, the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and IDRC are hosting a half-day conference at University of Zambia to discuss what looking beyond the GDP framework would mean for students in Zambia.

Through a series of talks, workshops and participatory activities this conference will introduce the limitations of GDP as well as provide overviews of alternative and complementary measures to GDP and their policy implications.

This conference is delivered in partnership with the University of Zambia and Rethinking Economics Zambia, and with the support of Rethinking Economics International and Rethinking Economics for Africa.
