Then we share what we learn so others can achieve results for development, too. www.R4D.org

We have a unique and vibrant culture at R4D. Diversity, equity and inclusion are at the heart of our work environment and help advance our mission. Diversity—of ideas, identities, perspectives and backgrounds—is vital to who we are and what we do. We seek people who embrace these values and will help reinforce them. Our work culture is collaborative, creative and entrepreneurial. We operate based on trust and respect. Teams across the organization frequently collaborate on programmatic work and support each other in continuously building a better R4D.

About the Governance Action Hub

The Governance Action Hub is an initiative of Results for Development (R4D). We foster people's engagement in governance actions and reforms through collaborative and systemic approaches. Through local-global coordination, we partner with change agents worldwide to elevate innovation and the strategic use of data in areas of climate justice and combating state capture, while our in-country work builds and supports local coalitions for local solutions in several countries. Together, we aim to create a global community of governance explorers dedicated to driving meaningful change.

The Governance action Hub recently launched its portal / website and the Governance Explorers’ Network. The Portal aims to be a platform to 1) share stories on a global stage, 2) provide visibility and recognition, 3) enable inclusive spaces for learning exchange, and 4) facilitate collective exploration of governance solutions, ideas, and approaches. The Governance Explorers Network aims to bring the discussion of governance action and reform closer to people—exploring what is possible through collaboration and local-global coordination.
