What we do

We leverage the power of data to change minds, policies, and lives for the better. Our aim is to ensure that data can be put to good use to power progress.

As our work on data for development continues, we are bringing a focused lens to three pressing development challenges where the right data, used well, can catalyze progress on climate and health, agriculture and food security, and AI in development.

Our development challenges in focus

Climate and health

In many areas of the world, the effects of climate change are increasing the prevalence and reach of diseases, putting the health of millions of people at risk. Data is critical for innovations that protect public health.

Agriculture and food security

The whole world runs on food, but our agricultural and food systems are in a state of crisis. Data is an underutilized resource in ensuring we have enough good quality food to feed the world.

AI in development

Emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), present powerful opportunities for accelerating social good. The way AI will shape society depends on two things; the data it uses and the rules it follows.
