Learning fOr development.

We live in times of intense climate, geopolitical and social change, defined by complex and fast changing relationships between government, civil society, business, and communities. Only through world-class professional, practitioner and organisation wide learning can those in development contribute towards the progressive change needed to realise more equitable and sustainable societies.

We are ranked first in the world for our research, learning and teaching. We deliver training and action-oriented learning in collaboration with activists, civil society, aid professionals, policy makers and researchers to transform global knowledge and build future leadership.
