Partnerships

To achieve our vision we work in partnership with others to increase our impact and influence across the globe.

Our formal partnerships

We have formal partnerships with:

Development Research and Training (DRT), Uganda

  • Research organisation undertaking policy-oriented analysis aimed at informing and influencing a wide range of issues, including reducing poverty in Uganda and other East African countries.

Freedom Forum, the NGO Federation and Young Innovations, Nepal

  • Since 2011 we have worked together to develop the capacity of individuals and organisations to access, analyse and use information to engage in policy and decision-making processes within Nepal.

The Asia Foundation, Nepal

  • In Nepal we also work in partnership with The Asia Foundation to implement a 2.5-year DFID-funded programme aimed at improving the sharing and use of data by government, civil society and the private sector as evidence for development.

Gestão de Interesse Público/Public Interest Management (GiP), Brazil

  • GiP works on a variety of socio-environmental initiatives and projects with the aim of strengthening civil society organisations. They convene different actors and share knowledge that favours the promotion of global social and environmental justice. DI and GiP partner on the theme of climate change and poverty.

  • An independent international institute dedicated to research into conflict, armaments, arms control and disarmament. SIPRI provided security data for DI’s Global Humanitarian Assistance and Investments to End Poverty programmes.

Our informal partnerships

We also work informally with many organisations. These partnerships are short term, strategic, and are not tied in contractual arrangements. This may result in joint statements around global issues, coordination of working groups, joint authoring of papers and reports, as well as more general informal sharing of information.

We have informal partnerships with:

Articulação Sul
BRICS Policy Center
Civil society working group on 2030 Agenda and sustainable development in Brazil
The Kenya Open Data Initiative
ONE
Oxfam
the Overseas Development Institute (ODI)
Publish What You Fund
Save the Children
The Uganda Open Development Partnership Platform

In addition, our ability to deliver good work is greatly enhanced by work with commercial partners such as Data Act Lab in Sweden and Communications Development Incorporated in Washington DC.
