Development Ratings

research and recommendations on charities that work in the least developed countries

Development Ratings’ vision is to be the first point of call for identifying high-impact organisations working in the least developed countries. Our aim is to act as a catalyst for an increased and more effective flow of funds and to stimulate new partnerships.

We are a London-based service that recommends international development charities to donors based on thorough investment analyst style research.

Our primary focus is on uncovering effective and overlooked charities. We have to date reviewed over 700 charities and currently recommend 25.
