The International Partnership Programme (IPP), run by the UK Space Agency, focuses on using the UK space sector’s research and innovation strengths to deliver sustainable economic and societal benefits to emerging and developing economies around the world. It is part of and funded from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy’s Global Challenges Research Fund, a fund announced by the UK government to support cutting-edge research and innovation on global issues affecting developing countries.
IPP’s ultimate objective was to have a measurable and sustainable economic or social impact on the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2021. It provided grant funding to projects that apply space technology and data to development. By developing new solutions, coupled with capacity development in partner countries, IPP projects enable stakeholders in developing countries to use satellites to find new and innovative ways to tackle development challenges in 44 countries around the world. This summary of the IPP Midline Evaluation provides an overview of the program at the four-year point, including results, progress, and lessons.
