International Development

We’re helping to build a better working world for the world’s poorest citizens.

While the world has made significant improvements to eradicate poverty in recent decades, approximately 700 million people still live on less than US$1.90 a day. Developing nations face wide-ranging challenges, from poor infrastructure and low economic development to rapid population growth and skills gap.

Addressing these challenges requires governments, private sector organizations and donors to work together. At EY, we work extensively with multiple international development organizations around the world to support their development agendas. EY professionals help these organizations with:

  • Infrastructure projects
  • Public finance management
  • Digital government
  • Economic development
  • Governance
  • Education
  • Sustainability

We have a proven record of helping international development organizations to deliver projects that improve the lives of citizens around the world.
