Research and knowledge saves lives

Our vision is of research and knowledge at the heart of development – where decisions are informed by relevant and rigorous evidence, and where knowledge is created with the communities it is intended to serve.

That requires many voices, many institutions and many types of knowledge. We call it an equitable knowledge ecosystem.

Our mission is to support Southern individuals and institutions to make that possible.
