What's included
The track bundles ImpactMojo's policy and economics material into one guided, assessed path — and adds the pieces that turn learning into a credential.
Guided path through Development EconomicsFree forever
A structured route through the flagship: development economics theory and the empirical methods used to test it. Free forever — what you pay for is the assessed track and certificate.
Politics of Aspiration courseFree forever
Understand political economy and aspiration theory — why policies succeed or fail once they meet real institutions and incentives.
Policy Analysis Lab
Work a real policy problem end to end — frame it, weigh the evidence and options, and reach a defensible recommendation.
Governance Evaluation Practice Pack
The full practice pack, included with your enrolment — deliberate practice evaluating governance and policy interventions.
Capstone assessment
Apply the track's methods to a real task from your own work (or a supplied case), reviewed by the ImpactMojo team with written feedback you can act on.
Verifiable credential
Issued on passing the capstone, and independently checkable by anyone at verify-certificate.html — a credential a recruiter can actually verify.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the track take?
Around 15–20 hours of work, fully self-paced — most learners spread it over three to six weeks. You get six months of access to the assessment from the day you enrol.
Is the content free without paying?
Yes. The Development Economics and Politics of Aspiration courses are free for everyone, forever. The paid layer is the assessed capstone, the verified certificate and reviewed feedback.
Are there any prerequisites?
None. The economics is taught from first principles — no prior formal training is assumed, and the emphasis is on judgement, not maths.
When do I get the certificate?
Within a week of passing the capstone. It is issued with a unique ID and is independently checkable at verify-certificate.html.
What if it isn't for me? Refunds?
A 7-day refund window applies from the date of enrolment, as per our refund policy. Write to hello@impactmojo.in and we'll process it, no questions asked.
Do you offer team or organisational pricing?
Yes — for three or more learners from the same organisation, write to hello@impactmojo.in and we'll set up a group enrolment.
