Brief Profile of the Proponent Institution The Institute of Rural Development Planning (IRDP) is a corporate body established by the Parliamentary Act No. 8 of 1980. The Act provides a legal framework for establishing the Institute which is an important national centre for provision of training, research and consultancy services in the field of Rural Development Planning and Management that will alleviate qualitative and quantitative shortages of skilled manpower within the framework of sustainable capacity building directed towards reducing poverty and attaining sustainable development. IRDP helps to enhance and strengthen capacity for Rural Development practitioners by providing post-secondary education and training, research and consultancy services. IRDP is thus a multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral body empowered to oversee and coordinate the provision of expertise to in-service and pre-service personnel involved in Rural Development Planning in the country.
