Mission
REDUCE GLOBAL POVERTY AND IMPROVE LIVES THROUGH INNOVATIVE ECONOMIC RESEARCH THAT DRIVES BETTER POLICY AND PRACTICE BY THE WORLD'S TOP DECISION MAKERS. WE FOCUS ON THE INTERSECTION OF DEVELOPING COUNTRIES AND THE GOVERNMENTS, INSTITUTIONS AND CORPORATIONS THAT CAN HELP THEM DELIVER GREATER PROGRESS.
Program accomplishments
- GLOBAL HEALTH-AS MORE COUNTRIES RISE OUT OF POVERTY, CGD IS FOCUSING ON THE INEQUITIES AND EMERGING PROBLEMS THAT JEOPARDIZE GLOBAL HEALTH PROGRESS: HOW SHOULD GOVERNMENTS ALLOCATE SCARCE HEALTH BUDGETS RATIONALLY? HOW CAN GLOBAL HEALTH DONORS AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS ADVANCE GLOBAL HEALTH SECURITY, PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS, AND HEALTH SYSTEMS STRENGTHENING? WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ADDRESS HEALTH INEQUITIES IN LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES? WHAT ARE EVIDENCE-INFORMED POLICIES TO ADDRESS MARKET FAILURES THAT SPAN FROM EARLY-STAGE PHARMACEUTICAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT TO SUPPLY CHAIN EFFICIENCY AND ENSURE HEALTH PRODUCT MARKETS WORK FOR THE POOR? CGD RESEARCH HELPS POLICYMAKERS BUILD SUSTAINABLE HEALTH SYSTEMS, RESPOND TO SHIFTING REALITIES, AND DELIVER VALUE FOR MONEY.SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FINANCE-TO MEET THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS THE WORLD MUST RAMP UP DEVELOPMENT FINANCING FROM BILLIONS TO TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THIS REQUIRES US TO NOT ONLY EXPAND THE EXISTING PATHWAYS, BUT ALSO UNLOCK NEW RESOURCES, WHILE RESPECTING THE DIGNITY AND INDEPENDENCE OF THE WORLD'S MOST DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE. CGD'S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FINANCE PROGRAM WORKS TO ADVANCE THESE GOALS IN PURSUIT OF A RESILIENT AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.EDUCATION-CGD'S EDUCATION PROGRAM FOCUSES ON BROAD WELFARE GOALS AND SEEKS TO UNDERSTAND THE ROLE EDUCATION CAN PLAY IN ADDRESSING INEQUITY. DESPITE THE TREMENDOUS PROGRESS THAT HAS BEEN MADE IN INCREASING SCHOOL ACCESS, EDUCATION HAS NOT YET FULFILLED ITS PROMISE OF BEING THE GREAT SOCIETAL EQUALIZER. OUR RESEARCH EXAMINES THE MECHANISMS THROUGH WHICH EDUCATION CAN GIVE CHILDREN EQUAL LIFE OPPORTUNITIES AND BUILD THE HUMAN CAPITAL THAT NATIONS NEED TO PROSPER.Expenses $15,948,808 · grants $2,848,454 · revenue $235,345
