Structured, independent data for global development
Where the sector runs on self-reported PDFs and gaps in country coverage, GDC builds the structured data instead.

The GDC Impact Database extracts impact and development metrics directly from organisation reports and structures them for comparison — replacing scattered PDFs with a consistent, queryable dataset.
Organisations are structured around the GDC Fund Ecosystem Structure (GDC-FES): a three-tier model spanning Limited Partners, General Partners, and Funds, so relationships between capital providers and capital deployers are visible, not just individual organisation profiles.
DIS is a scoring layer built on top of the Impact Database — translating the structured data each organisation reports into a comparable, at-a-glance measure of development impact.
Because DIS is grounded in the same underlying dataset across organisations, scores stay comparable rather than depending on how any one organisation chooses to report.
Country-level data for Emerging Market and Developing Economies (EMDEs) — many of which receive limited or inconsistent coverage from mainstream credit rating agencies, despite being where development finance is most active.
Drawing on economic, ESG, and development indicators from sources like the IMF, World Bank, and UN agencies, structured into a consistent country-by-country view.
