Our model is rooted in research-practice partnerships, working with partners around the globe to understand the challenges their communities face. We use data-driven research to co-develop workable solutions, to rigorously test them in programs and policies, and iterate as necessary.
We conduct collaborative, on-the-ground research across five continents.
Our research supports real-world policy initiatives that address inequities and shed light on challenges faced by marginalized people.
Our partners are governments at all levels, civil society groups, nonprofits, and anyone working to improve the lives of marginalized people.
