Development Initiatives
The Investments to End Poverty programme looks at the impact of financial resources on reducing poverty. It provides independent, reliable, accessible data and information on resource flows and promotes the idea that all resources have a role to play in getting poverty to zero.
About the project
Development Initiatives commissioned Data Act Lab to create a dynamic, engaging website using multi-dimensional data visualization techniques that showcase Development Initiatives' work and the data and analysis in their Investments to End Poverty programme.
Data Act Lab built devinit.org on Angular using only HTML, CSS and javascript and no proprietary components like flash or silverlight. This ensures the longlivety of the system and makes sure it can evolve seamlessly with the developement of the open standards of the web.
DI Website
Development Initatitives' interactive website presents the full results of DI's analysis and research alongside all the underlying data. It contains several interactive tools to map, rank and correlate data on poverty, vulnerability and financial resources to end poverty.

Development Data Explorer
Are domestic public resources able to meet the needs of the poorest people? And how effectively are donors targeting the countries with the highest numbers of people in poverty and the least resources to address it? The development data explorer allows you to correlate and explore the data.

This interactive tool allows you to explore three scenarios for future poverty levels both globally and by region up to 2030. The baseline scenario uses current forecasts for growth in consumption and current inequality levels. The best-case scenario shows what happens with more rapid growth that is shared more equally. By contrast, the worst-case scenario sees slower growth and increasing inequality.
