The Social Progress Imperative defines ‘social progress’ as the capacity of a society to meet the basic human needs of its citizens, establish the building blocks that allow citizens and communities to enhance and sustain the quality of their lives, and create the conditions for all individuals to reach their full potential.

Their Network consists of partner organizations in business, government and civil society that use the Social Progress Index to improve human wellbeing.

 

How It Works

The Social Progress Imperative, through regional partnerships, promotes the formation of local networks which apply the Social Progress Index within countries to guide social investments.

 

Why It's Special

Local networks operate at a national scale or focus on specific areas within a country. This provides a unique opportunity for social innovators to lead social progress in communities they know best.
