Results for Development (R4D)

To achieve large-scale, lasting impact in health, education and nutrition, the work must be driven by country leaders.

That’s why Results for Development puts change agents — government officials, civil society leaders and social innovators — at the center of their mission. Working alongside country leaders, R4D helps them untangle the complexities of long-term systems change. They support them to diagnose root causes of challenges, co-create locally relevant solutions informed by global knowledge, take actionable steps to drive change, and engage in learning to adapt and continuously improve. And they share what they learn so others around the world can achieve results for development too.

R4D works with change agents to solve their immediate challenges today, while also strengthening systems and institutions to address tomorrow’s challenges. This is how innovative technology-supported learning becomes a standard for all classrooms, not just one. How effective approaches to fight malnutrition are integrated into health systems. How health data from hundreds of sources can be channeled into a single dashboard, unifying how they see the pandemic and fight it.

Since our founding, R4D has listened and learned alongside their partners — leveraging, but not leading with our own expertise. They create space for country partners to lead, building a world of healthier, educated people who will drive their own prosperity for generations to come.
