"Our hope is that CIFF’s journey will be useful for all
who aim to make development more impactful."

CIFF has a performance-driven culture. Managers and executives at all levels share research and findings from our programmes openly. We are committed to disseminating our learnings as part of an overall strategy to scale programmes, influence practice and sustain the impact of our investments.

CIFF is focusing to achieve transformational change for children within development and crisis contexts:

Within these priority areas, we seek to invest in “big wins”. "Big wins" are defined as opportunities to effect profound improvements in well-being indicators in our priority impact areas which benefit large numbers of children and where successes extend well beyond the direct impact of the funded programmes.

As CIFF continues to conduct research into the priority impact areas its focus through 2009 will primarily be aimed at:

• Child Survival
• Nutrition & Hunger Alleviation
• Educational Achievement
