What we do
We invest in high-quality research, share knowledge globally, and mobilize alliances for a more sustainable and inclusive world.
Part of Canada’s foreign affairs and development efforts, we fund and support high-quality research in developing countries, share knowledge with researchers and policymakers to inform local and global action, and mobilize alliances to drive global positive change.
Combatting climate change and inequalities
Increasingly severe climate change impacts are threatening to undo hard-won development gains and undermine progress. Persistent inequality, whether based on gender, race, sexuality, economic status, or otherwise – prevent people from moving out of poverty and reaching their full potential.
Layered with the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe climate change and inequality are the main barriers to reaching the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. These are the main drivers behind our work and guide our vision towards a more sustainable and inclusive world.
Where we work
Our head office is in Ottawa, Canada. Our five regional offices in India, Jordan, Kenya, Senegal, and Uruguay keep us close to the researchers and projects we fund in developing regions.
