A “doab” is the fertile ground that forms between two rivers. Similarly, Doab Development brings together disparate people and organizations to help solve social problems. We have deep content experience in education, health and nutrition, and workforce development, and our work extends broadly to the international social development sector. We have supported projects in 60 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Central and South America, and North America.
Join our efforts to catalyze social change around the world by contributing to one of our projects or recommending new ways to tackle big issues.Â
Strong organizational foundations are essential for promoting scalable, lasting social change. We therefore help organizations clarify their strategies, expand markets, hone operational systems, and implement projects and programs to become more efficient and impactful. Â

We are always looking for partners who share our passion for social development and are ready to engage in substantive conversations about new opportunities and strategies to improve people’s lives. Bring your own ideas or just your open mind to our discussions, and let us know how you would like to be involved.
We also strive every day to ensure that our clients trust us as preferred partners in executing their missions and growing their impact. This includes shorter engagements as well as longer-term collaborations.
Our vision is to facilitate new and innovative ways to integrate the vast experiences of the international development community and knowledge of effective implementers in targeted countries to define, collaborate, and solve large-scale social challenges, particularly related to equitable access to quality educational services, stronger linkages between education and economic opportunities, and better strategies for healthy, sustainable eating for productive and fulfilling lives.
Our mission is to expand and deepen the discourse about attainable social goals in under-resourced countries around the world by
- Identifying the most salient issues that can be addressed by interested partners;
- Supporting more organizations to contribute to the discourse and solutions; and
- Contributing to the solutions directly ourselves
Our strategy is two-fold:
- First is to grow our network of committed, capable professionals and organizations; engage with them regularly about the most pressing social issues; convene discussions regarding challenges and solutions; and help initiate and contribute to initiatives that work toward solutions.
- Second is to support partner organizations, particularly emerging organizations, to have stronger operational foundations, resources, and opportunities to contribute to large social undertakings.
We write periodic articles to share views about the world, our sector, and our roles as aspiring change agents. Some are based on long-time thinking. Others are spur-of the moment reflections. Please let us know the ones you find most interesting, and we will try to write more!
