Results for Development was established in 2008 in response to a need for an organization that could work at the nexus between thinking and doing, with skill not just in developing promising, evidence-based ideas but also in the arduous art of applying them in practice.
R4D was launched… read more at the urging of prominent colleagues and friends around the world who said there was a need for more organizations that could work at the nexus between thinking and doing — with skill not just in developing promising, evidence-based ideas, but also in the arduous art of applying them in practice. They said there was a need for organizations that could respond to the priorities of low- and middle-income countries and offer independent and impartial advice.
Responding to that call, a small team took the plunge with David and formed R4D. With no initial starter funding, our first R4Ders sought challenging projects and delivered results that quickly proved our organization’s value. We continue to work with these ideals of quality and tenacity in order to achieve great results.
