Letter from Our CEO
In 1965, Clark Abt set out to build a company grounded in evidence, driven by mission, and serious about solving hard problems. For 60 years, that vision has anchored what we do.
We’ve adapted across time—through progress and pivots, policy shifts and a pandemic—but why we do this work will never change. We show up because we believe in the power of practical solutions to improve people’s lives worldwide.
Our Mission Impact Reports honor the changes we influence around the world. We don’t do it alone. These achievements come from strong partnerships with our clients, partners, and communities across the U.S. and in dozens of countries. Together, we make a difference.
Whether working with farmers, health workers, housing leaders, or national policymakers, we lead with resilience and stay focused on results. In the U.S., we streamlined systems that help farmers access $6.4 billion in capital and conservation resources. In Egypt and Papua New Guinea, we helped smallholders increase productivity and forge new commercial partnerships.
