Development
Development in low- and middle-income countries faces systemic barriers to change, including inadequate planning and governance, that hinder progress.
System-wide change is needed to bring about inclusive, sustainable development and build healthy and resilient communities.
Education, health, and planning departments and ministries need support to develop interventions based on evidence of what works and to put robust systems in place that can track progress and demonstrate results.
