Results for Development is a global nonprofit catalyzing locally led systems change.

We support country leaders to uncover the root causes of the challenges they’re facing. And we help them identify and synthesize relevant experience from other countries across our network that have tackled similar problems, turning global experience and innovative ideas into practical insights that help leaders make informed decisions.

We help country leaders bring together the right stakeholders to co-create effective solutions. As skilled facilitators, our team engages diverse voices in meaningful dialogue, helping strengthen processes, foster buy-in, and co-design solutions that are more likely to succeed.

We support country leaders to implement their solutions with an emphasis on learning-by-doing. R4D’s Coaching Approach works through existing infrastructure and processes — avoiding the creation of parallel systems. This approach strengthens national institutions to deliver over the long-term.

We support country leaders to learn what’s working — and what isn’t — to continuously adapt, iterate and improve. Our approach prioritizes answering the questions our partners care about, using methods that are feasible. This builds resilience and helps strengthen institutions’ capacity to embed learning into their future work.

Our approach supports and elevates local expertise and organizations to ensure they continue supporting country leaders long after global funding ends. We complement and strengthen our local partners’ capabilities — positioning them as the go-to resources for both national and global actors.

We create and strengthen learning communities and networks that generate evidence, support change agents to learn from one another and co-create promising new approaches. Our Collaborative Learning approach is always country led and centers the expertise of local change agents.

We work with development partners to ensure their strategies and programs are coordinated and aligned with country leaders’ priorities — making investments more responsive, sustainable and impactful. This also reduces the burden on country leaders to navigate and manage competing priorities.
