The GDC Global Development Directory is a curated resource showcasing direct and indirect global development actors. It is designed as an accessible entry point for anyone to explore the global development landscape, understand the roles of diverse organisations, and engage with key challenges like inequality, poverty, climate change, and urbanisation.
Rooted in GDC's mission, the directory serves not only as an educational tool but also as a platform for discourse and collaboration. By offering open, user-driven access to global development organisations, it enables anyone to submit or explore entries aligned with the SDGs. Built on a flexible, scalable Airtable foundation, it allows real-time updates, custom filtering, and collaborative input.
Share details of organisations that play a part in global development, either directly or indirectly — your own, or one you admire. Fill out the form with key information about the organisation's mission, SDG focus, and contact details. Submissions are reviewed for accuracy before being added.
