Thematic programmes
Thematic programmes
IGL thematic programmes bring together leading organisations, researchers, practitioners and funders to ideate, develop, test and scale cost-effective solutions to address key challenges.
In consultation with our partners and stakeholders we’ve identified 5 different challenges that are instrumental in pushing the technology frontier forward as well as supporting those farther behind to move closer to the frontier.
In each of these programmes we aim to:
- Diagnose the problem and solution space through evidence reviews, mapping studies, data analysis and stakeholder workshops.
- Develop a portfolio of experimental and/or data projects that build the evidence base and provide actionable insights.
- Scale the lessons learnt through stakeholder engagement, publications and events, achieving demonstrable impact at scale.
