Center for Global Development

CGD is an independent, not-for-profit think tank that works to reduce global poverty and inequality by encouraging policy change in the U.S. and other rich countries through rigorous research and active engagement with the policy community. Today CGD conducts research and analysis on a wide range of topics related to how rich country policies impact people in the developing world. These include, for example, aid effectiveness, education, globalization, health, migration, and trade. Research and analysis that is related to proposals for specific, practical improvements in rich country policies is organized into initiatives, such as an advance market commitment for vaccines or debt relief.
