Development Gateway: An IREX Venture (DG)

Since 2000, Development Gateway: An IREX Venture (DG) has been dedicated to making development data easier to gather, use, and understand. The organization builds custom tools, systems, and dashboards designed to enhance transparency and efficiency across a variety of sectors, including agriculture, health, extractives, information management, and cross-cutting global policy fields.

Through strategic partnerships with governments, institutions, and local communities, DG works to ensure that decision-makers have the precise information they need to effectively make or shape policy. By identifying systemic barriers to data use and implementing practical solutions, DG applies deep, in-the-weeds knowledge to incorporate rigorous learning and keep the broader global community informed.
