APORDE Podcast Series
The African Programme on Rethinking Development Economics (APORDE) is a high high-level training programme in development economics targeting policy-makers, researchers, academics and civil society representatives from Africa and other developing countries. The programme has been running since 2007 and is a joint initiative between the South African Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (the dtic) and Trade and Industrial Policy Strategies (TIPS).
As part of APORDE’s agenda of influencing, educating and reaching a wider audience, it has introduced an APORDE podcast series. This series draws on the community of those that have participated directly in both the international and national APORDE network of heterodox development economists and social scientists.
