Innovation is too often designed outside the systems and people meant to sustain it.
The Office of Global Innovation aims to change that, bridging the gap between innovation and impact.
The world is changing rapidly, and the promise of new technologies to meet unmet needs, persistent challenges, and emerging threats can be seductive.But innovation-driven impact only endures when it is embedded in the systems that sustain it.
In our work, we see governments with unique knowledge and untapped insight. We work alongside them to build next-generation public health systems — strengthening public capabilities rooted in local knowledge and context, guided by data, evidence and public accountability.We focus on the deliberate and inclusive design of policies, practices, and products that can be deployed, adapted, and delivered at scale, reaching the people who need them most.
That work is strengthened by what countries learn from one another. From New Delhi to Rio de Janeiro, from Kigali to Jakarta, South–South exchange drives cross-pollination, accelerated diffusion of action, knowledge and impact, and collective problem-solving across countries facing shared challenges.Because when the right foundations are in place, innovation becomes impact and millions more people live longer, healthier lives.
