Development Report Institute is an initiative for advancing development through media.

Our engagement encompasses thematic areas in the development sector such as Health, Agriculture, Science and Technology, Entrepreneurship, Education, Sustainable Development, among many others. We help to connect the dreams and aspirations of communities especially from resource poor settings to the values of government, corporate and donor community and to enable us act together.

We independently evaluate development effectiveness and provide the best media platform for development actors to learn and share best practices. We do so through performance assessment, research, project auditing and reporting.
