Our Approach to Building Stronger Economies.

The Research Lab

We use numbers and analytics to show the real impact of aid. We quantify the “Hidden Tax” and the extra costs that come with donor requirements so governments have the facts they need to negotiate better.

Advocacy

We push for a new global standard where success is measured by the strength of local systems. We use our research to shift the conversation toward the economic agency of recipient nations.

Advisory Services

We partner with local and national governments to help them negotiate funding agreements that prioritize their own institutional strength. We also advise donors on how to invest in ways that create self-sustaining systems.
