Global Innovation Exchange (GIE) is a global development technology platform for

innovations, funding, and insights. GIE’s mission is to help scale the most promising

innovations by utilizing its ever-growing database of information to serve as a reliable

fundraising resource for global development innovations, as well as a source of

credible innovation data for the international development community.

The insights in the report of 2019 are drawn from data representing 10,899 social

Check out this report to see trends and gaps for both innovations and funding across

geographies in 137+ low- and- middle-income countries, and focus area which
