Annual Report

This year, our teams and partners showed remarkable determination and creativity. Together, we supported people to drive positive change, while also preparing Practical Action for the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Thanks to our projects, in the places we work people’s livelihoods are more secure. More people have a say in local decisions. Public services are improving. Policies are becoming more inclusive. And in many places, practical solutions are being adapted, expanded and led by the people who use them.

Every milestone we reached this year was made possible by the people and organisations who believe in how we work. From long-standing institutional partners to thousands of individual supporters, their trust and funding has helped us go further, adapt faster and stay focused on long-term solutions, even as challenges change.

The challenges facing international development today are real, and in many ways deepening. But we are not standing still. Our ambition is clear: by 2030, we will reach 10 million people, guided by a new impact framework that puts locally led action and equity at the centre. We are working to unlock more finance, influence more systems and back solutions that meet the urgency of today’s crises. We’re strengthening and extending our partnerships and raising our ambition – challenging ourselves and our sector to go further on equity, locally led development and lasting impact.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey. If there is one thing we know in today’s unpredictable world, it is that the work we do together is needed now more than ever.
