We bring together technical expertise and world- class systems to take on the world’s most challenging problems and deliver results. We recognize that the world’s problems are complex.

With experience that spans more than 40 years, 10 technical sectors, and 150 countries, we document and apply lessons learned across all of our projects to bridge the gap between isolated technical fields and regions to drive lasting change. Development requires more than just great ideas. It requires applying great ideas in the most challenging environments around the world.

  • A Think Tank on Social Innovation and Civic Engagement in Higher Education October 25 and 26, 2015
    A Think Tank on Social Innovation and Civic Engagement in Higher Education October 25 and 26, 2015 1 Sponsors Host Co-Host Co-Sponsors 2 Welcome We are struck by the rich and meaningful conversations taking place on so many of our campuses about the most rewarding paths to social change. Our many movements for social change are needed, perhaps more now than ever. We believe that we are all united in this quest. Of course, our understanding of the need for social change is not enough. With the va- riety of methods to impact the world virtually at our fingertips, we are driven to identify effective practices, to put knowledge into action, and to indeed go about making the world a better place. Just as important is what we teach our undergraduates and graduate students about how they can join in this quest and what they should learn in order to do so. By many measures, this is a generation who believes that change can result by creating their own approaches to address society’s ills or through their volunteer efforts, yet often these strategies do not change the fundamental, underlying conditions. In our limited time together during this think tank, we aim to better understand how we in higher education and the social innovation and civic engagement fields can better teach about the wide range of approaches to social change – and to help discern when one or another approach might be most effective. By gathering academics, students, and practitioners to have this conversation, we are eager to share perspectives.
