WHAT WE DO

Stories for Development offers a unique perspective on evidenced-based solutions to human development. Inspired by the real stories of real people, we work at the intersection of stories and  research. 

 

We are all about evidenced-based policy development. We are committed to sound data management, data collection, and monitoring and evaluation culminating into effective report writing. We work to translate socio-economic data and evidence into sound policy advice on some of the most urgent public policy issues facing developing countries and marginalized people.

 

Our objective is to inform public policy debate through independent, evidenced-based, research highlighting the real stories of real people.

WHO WE ARE

Stories for Development is an international development think tank. We want to open up the field of international development to the people for whom it matters the most. Overcoming barriers to their development requires their participation in the dialogue as well as empathetic understanding, creative solutions, and disciplined actions by the numerous well-intentioned international partners.

 

Stories for Development wants to contribute to this ambitious objective by elevating real stories of real people through their life journey.
