Social Progress Imperative

The Social Progress Imperative’s mission is to use data to influence policies and investments to better serve all of humanity. Social progress is defined as the capacity of a society to meet the basic human needs of its citizens, establish the building blocks that allow citizens and communities to enhance and sustain the quality of their lives, and create the conditions for all individuals to reach their full potential. The Social Progress Index® is built on these fundamentals, to understand the lived reality of people, to inspire action and improve lives. It has been used in more than 45 countries at a national and local level, by governments, businesses and NGOs. Partner with us to meet the pressing needs of communities and to advance social progress.
