Annual review
It has been an extraordinary year for global development. The Covid-19 pandemic has continued to disrupt and transform how people live and organisations function throughout the world. At IDS, it has challenged how we contribute to creating a more equitable and sustainable world. But it has also created opportunities and new ways of thinking. Our response showcased our commitment to making a difference for lasting change. The Annual Review 2021 presents our progress over the past year.
