Results. Evidence. Impact.
The Institute for Development Impact (I4DI) is a think-and-do tank dedicated to advancing evidence-based solutions for lasting social and environmental impact. Founded in 2014, we design and implement projects that deliver real results, we generate value through learning systems and evaluation, we forge catalytic partnerships that multiply returns on investment, and we build customized technology to achieve sustainability and development goals. As a woman-owned small business headquartered in Washington, D.C., we operate a profit-for-purpose model that reinvests into research and innovation to push boundaries and maximize impact. I4DI empowers decision-makers, strengthens systems, and builds partnerships that create meaningful change for people, communities, and the planet.
Our Publications.
I4DI believes that transparency and open access to knowledge and insights from our learning is a strength. No matter what the evidence reveals, we are committed to sharing insights from our engagements for the collective benefit of our industry.
