Global development data, finally decision-ready
Map who invested in what, where, and how. Identify gaps and opportunities, all in one place.
Who we are
Global Impact Analytics is an independent research company founded by development practitioners and data scientists with over a decade of experience across multilateral and bilateral institutions, as well as leading research organisations.
What we do
-
Our work is anchored in the GDPA, a structured, growing database that harmonises over 20 years of development investment records across several institutions (including bilateral and multilateral donors as well as Development Finance Institutions).
-
See the complete history of development investment in a country or sector: who funded what, in what sequence, at what scale, and where funding concentrated or dispersed.
-
Understand where investment has been substantial but country development trajectories have not shifted as expected, where sectors are underfunded relative to need, and where co-financing patterns suggest coordination failures. All with data quality labels.
-
Receive outputs formatted for strategic conversations where allocation decisions are made: committee briefs, sector comparisons, and portfolio summaries that reduce weeks of manual synthesis to minutes. Every output shows a clear validation and audit trail.
