Technology & Innovation

Ideas and approaches from the past are no longer enough to keep pace with the world’s challenges. Global Communities embeds innovation at every level of our programming, creating space for digital solutions and agile approaches that can blaze a trail to new thinking and a more just and equitable world.

From partnering with the private sector to upend the home sanitation market in Ghana and expanding access to credit for women business owners in the Middle East to putting mobile technology in the hands of East African pastoralists, we are working to expand opportunity, prosperity and social inclusion. We are exploring new solutions for safe commodities storage, taking community savings groups online, and connecting people and ideas across languages and borders to build a better future for all.
