Organizations Filed Purposes:
OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE KEY ACTORS WITH RIGOROUS INFORMATION TO SUPPORT BETTER DECISIONS, INFLUENCE POLICY OUTCOMES, INCREASE ACCOUNTABILITY AND STRENGTHEN THE USE OF DATA TO ERADICATE POVERTY.
HELP DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES POVERTY RESEARCH LTD., A UK NOT-FOR-PROFIT, ACHIEVE ITS GOAL OF ENDING EXTREME POVERTY BY 2030.
DURING 2019, DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES POVERTY RESEARCH AMERICA INC. HELPED DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES (DI) TO DEEPEN OUR WORK WITH PARTNERS TO INCREASE OUR IMPACT AND MAKE MUCH-NEEDED PROGRESS AT A CHALLENGING TIME OF INCREDIBLE EXTERNAL UNCERTAINTY. WE FIND OURSELVES IN A WORLD WHERE PROGRESS ON THE SDGS HAS BEEN SLOW AND COMMITMENT TO MULTILATERALISM IS WANING. THE IMPACTS OF THE CLIMATE CRISIS ARE BEING INCREASINGLY FELT ACROSS THE GLOBE AND 2019 SITS IN THE WARMEST DECADE ON RECORD. IN NOVEMBER, WE DIRECTLY WITNESSED EXTREME UNSEASONAL RAINFALL IN EAST AFRICA, CAUSING LOSS OF LIFE, LIVELIHOODS AND AGRICULTURAL DEVASTATION. THOSE MOST AFFECTED WERE THOSE MOST VULNERABLE - LIVING IN SLUMS OR IN NON-PERMANENT STRUCTURES WHERE LIVES WERE BEING DESTROYED OVERNIGHT.PROGRESS IN ADDRESSING VULNERABILITY IS NOT HAPPENING FAST ENOUGH. TOO MANY PEOPLE STILL DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS FOOD, SOCIAL PROTECTION AND ESSENTIAL SERVICES. TOO MANY CHILDREN STILL LACK THE CHANCE OF A DECENT EDUCATION THAT IS VITAL FOR A SECURE LIVELIHOOD AND A BRIGHT FUTURE. THROUGH OUR WORK, WE ARE SEEING CLEARLY THAT THE DECISIVE ACTION NEEDED BY POLITICAL LEADERS TO END EXTREME POVERTY AND BUILD THE RESILIENCE OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SO DESPERATELY IN NEED, SEEMS TO BE DIMINISHING OR IN SOME CASES IS WHOLLY ABSENT.DI'S STRATEGY IS TO SHINE A LIGHT ON THESE ISSUES AND SUPPORT DECISION-MAKERS TO BE MORE ACCOUNTABLE TO CIVIL SOCIETY AND THEIR CITIZENS AND ACCELERATE THEIR ACTIONS SO THAT PROGRESS CAN BE MADE AT THE GLOBAL, NATIONAL AND SUBNATIONAL LEVELS. OUR UNIQUE FOCUS IS ON THE AVAILABILITY AND USE OF GOOD QUALITY, DISAGGREGATED AND REAL TIME DATA THAT IS KEY FOR UNDERSTANDING WHOSE NEED IS THE GREATEST, WHAT WORKS, WHY MANY ARE STILL NOT PROGRESSING OUT OF POVERTY AND WHAT CHANGE IS NEEDED. INFORMATION AND EVIDENCE ARE CRITICAL FOR UNDERPINNING EFFORTS TO CHANGE THE CURRENT SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES THAT PERPETUATE POVERTY, AND ENSURE FINANCIAL RESOURCES ARE BEING TARGETED EFFECTIVELY ACCORDING TO NEED.
