Pros

Colleagues are smart, passionate and in general kind. People are friendly and approachable from the CEO to all the different country offices.

Cons

Even with the move towards globally connected, too much centralized decision-making, in a difficult sector context, business development has to happen on your own time, people have left and haven’t been replaced meaning there’s a lot of overwhelm. Room for career progression has shrunk in recent years.

Pros

Results for Development is a fantastic organization that truly prioritizes working with local agents of change to drive progress in nutrition, health, and education. The organization genuinely believes that understanding the local context is essential for designing appropriate, sustainable, and impactful solutions.

Cons

One area for improvement is ensuring that local change agents are fully involved in the design and conception of projects, rather than being engaged primarily as consultants during implementation. Meaningful co-creation from the outset would strengthen ownership, relevance, and sustainability
