ABOUT THE SURVEY

With the Millennium Development Goals set to expire in 2015, global development faces a transitional moment. The 2014 Development Influencers Survey gauged development leaders' opinions on progress so far and how the industry will change over the next decade. Undertaken by Survey & Advisory Services — the Devex research practice that helps clients with projects like brand surveys, new market studies and partnership identification and analysis — the survey used the Devex platform of more than 600,000 development professionals to target senior development executives, ultimately collecting responses from nearly 1,000 leaders across six continents and varied organizations and industry sectors.
