Development International e.V. (DI) is a not-for-profit organization specialized in conducting research where law, business and development intersect.  ​

​

DI's point of departure is to bring independent scientific scrutiny, clarity, and accuracy to bear on issues with an empirical deficit, thus enabling constructive discussions.

​

We also develop and implement evidence-based intervention strategies and solutions to achieve sustainable development outcomes, and we build capacity to transfer knowledge and competencies to other stakeholders in the process.

Our inter-disciplinary team combines legal, economic and public health competencies. The economic underpinning is insofar imperative in that we understand how the leading economic theory and modelling can be leveraged to the desired ends of sustainable development. Similarly, our command of legislative precedents and impending paradigms allow us to compare and contrast legislative models. Our public health experience helps us ground our population-based research in a rightsholder and ultimate beneficiary perspectives. 

​​

DI is based in Germany but internationally active. DI's affiliates allow us to build bridges of awareness, insight and a common future.
