Impact
DAI project teams address global challenges using a cross-disciplinary approach. In more than 160 countries, spanning six continents, our long-term project outcomes have helped change the world for the better.
Indonesia: We connected 2.5 million people to safe water, improved sanitation for more than 300,000, and reduced water costs for low-income households by 57 percent.
Vietnam: We helped the government transform its trade competitiveness to become an export powerhouse and a magnet for foreign investment, reducing poverty from 60 to 20 percent.
El Salvador: For an investment of a few million dollars over seven years, we helped mobilize $300 million annually in additional tax revenue, without raising tax rates.
Rwanda: We provided land titles for the entire country for the first time ever—10.3 million parcels—at a previously unheard of low cost of $7 per title (previous low in Africa: $69).
Nothing makes us prouder than the impact we’ve made and continue to make. Learn more about both our active and completed projects.
