Center for Global Development

The Center for Global Development works to reduce global poverty and improve lives through innovative economic research that drives better policy and practice by the world's top decision makers. We generate new ideas, actionable policy proposals, and independent research, and spark critical global development conversations. We focus on the intersection of developing countries and the governments, institutions, and corporations that can help them deliver the greatest progress. Our scholars conduct rigorous, impartial analysis, informed by evidence and experts from around the world, to design practical policy solutions and spur intellectual debate.
