Accelerating social impact with government and global development partners
Why we exist
The future of our fast-changing world depends on greater social outcomes.
Our mission is to transform global development effectiveness by using results-based approaches to incentivize impact, redirect large-scale funding towards innovation, accelerate the uptake of evidence, and strengthen delivery systems.
