Center for Global Development is an independent, not-for-profit think tank that works to reduce global poverty and inequality via research and active engagement in the policy process. It conducts research and analysis on a wide range of topics related to how policies and actions of the rich and powerful affect poor people in the developing world.
It covers many topics, including aid effectiveness, climate change, education, globalization, health, migration, and trade. Drawing on its research, it actively engages with thought leaders, policymakers, and others to move its ideas to action.
Center for Global Development organizes work that is related to proposals for specific, practical policy improvements into initiatives, such as development impact bonds, cash-on-delivery aid, preemptive contract sanctions, oil to cash, and more health for the money. Its ‘Commitment to Development’ Index annually ranks more than two dozen high-income countries on the seven main policy areas that influence development outcomes such as aid, trade, investment, migration, environment, security, and technology.
Center for Global Development was established in 2001 and is based in London.
