Letter from the Global Executive Director
Instead of despairing at the size and stickiness of our problems, we must proactively collaborate on designing innovative solutions, rigorously testing them, and then working carefully to scale them up.
The Year Ahead
Our vision for 2024 builds on a strong foundation to generate more equitable and evidence-based policies for a better world.
