Our Work

Agriculture and Food Security

Transforming rural space through technology, measurement and supply chains to secure brighter and more commercial futures.

Climate Change

Are we doing enough on climate? No. From satellite data to farmer incentives, speeding up learning on what’s possible.

Entertainment Education

What public campaigns cannot do, professional entertainers can. The amazing power of the narrative is changing both norms and behaviors.

Finance and Private sector

DIME’s work on financial and private sector development aims to address two overarching development challenges.

Fragility Conflict and Violence

Research that could not be done is instead revealing how spiced up plain vanilla programs can deliver on their promises.

Gender

Defying expectations and changing priors on women’s performance.

Governance

A granular look at government processes and how to fix them. Creating huge fiscal space, anyone?

Transport

By generating evidence and building data systems, the ieConnect for Impact program is transforming the way transport investments are designed and implemented.
