The Year Ahead

Scale to reach one billion people
Build new government and multilateral partnerships, and deepen existing ones, to test, innovate, and scale effective approaches that improve lives worldwide.
Accelerate solutions to climate change
Expand our playbook of effective and equitable climate solutions, which have already reached 15 million people, by continuing to design, test, and scale high-impact policies and programs that help the most vulnerable.
Harness the power of AI
Pilot and evaluate AI for social good to improve targeting, increase the effectiveness of frontline workers, and reduce barriers to program access; integrate AI and machine learning into research methods and operations.
Look beyond program outcomes
Develop cost-effectiveness and welfare analyses that help policymakers make more informed decisions about where to invest scarce resources.
Catalyze private sector impact
Be a source of rigorous, independent insight and best practice for private sector partners seeking to maximize the impact of their social and environmental programs.
Elevate bold ideas in global development
Bring promising social innovations with high potential for scale and impact to the forefront of global discourse.
Build an alliance to empower a new generation
Scale our education and training programs worldwide through ADEPT, a global alliance of governments and institutions, to reach more people who have the capacity, ambition, and opportunity to improve lives through evidence.
