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.

The message from the United Nations General Assembly is clear: facing an increasingly fragmented world, restoring multilateral cooperation and the rule of law is an urgent priority. 🌏

To rebuild global collaboration, decision-makers need a shared compass that moves beyond GDP, one that acts as a common language to measure what truly matters: access to basic needs, quality education, personal freedoms, rights, inclusivity, a healthy environment and more.

That is why we are hosting 📉 From Hope to Fragmentation: What 34 Years of Social Progress Data Reveal About Global Development, a virtual launch presenting the new Social Progress Index Time Series that tracks social progress from 1990 to 2023 across 196 countries. The new tool provides a real snapshot of global wellbeing and offers a shared framework to align cross-sector action and accelerate progress.
