Mission: MIT D-Lab works with people around the world to develop and advance collaborative approaches and practical solutions to global poverty challenges.

Programs: The mission is pursued through our academics program of more than 20 MIT courses and student research and fieldwork opportunities; our research groups spanning a variety of sectors and approaches; and a group of participatory innovation programs we call innovation practice.

Approach: D-Lab approaches international development with a design mindset, as is reflected in our guiding principles:

- Use inclusive practices when designing FOR people living in poverty
- Engage in effective co-creation when designing WITH people living in poverty
- Build confidence and capacity to promote design BY people living in poverty

In following these principles, MIT D-Lab is re-thinking the role of technology and design in development, has empowered thousands to address the daily challenges of poverty through design, prototyping, production, and social entrepreneurship, and is reshaping the way that development is practiced.
