Human development
Many of the drivers of poverty are connected with ill-equipped or limited human development policies. We work with governments in low- and middle-income countries to develop, implement, and evaluate policies in these areas. By supporting governments in making health, education, sanitation, nutrition, and social care equitable, accessible, and effective, our work can help ensure lasting change.
We have a thorough understanding of the different obstacles to achieving these goals, from financial management to a lack of quality data. We work across the policy cycle and different sectors to provide the evidence needed, advise on the refinement of internal processes, and support policy delivery to the most vulnerable people.
