IIE assists international agencies by providing services which complement the agencies' own grant-making and grant-management operations. IIE services include the recruitment, screening and selection of scholarship grantees worldwide; contracting of consultants with facilitation of their travel, insurance and meeting arrangements; administration of grants to individual or organizational grantees with operational oversight, fiscal control and relevant tax compliance; and record-keeping and reporting to the agencies' specifications. IIE offers flexible, tailored support which meshes closely with the agencies' operations, staffing and calendar.

For the International Monetary Fund IIE recruits scholarship candidates in Central, East and Southeast Asia, processes their applications, and ranks candidates in accord with IMF criteria. For the World Bank IIE administers professional development grants which are awarded to individual Bank staff for research, training and collaborative activities, while also assisting the Bank with multi-organizational grants for distance education and educational technology. IIE also facilitates cooperative projects among two or more international agencies, such as a health policy initiative jointly launched by the World Bank, World Health Organization, and other donors.

IIE is proud to have had the sponsorship of many Overseas Private Sector and International Organizations.
