Policy and Regulation

At GIST we promote public policies that alleviate suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive and just communities. As an organization working in over 40 countries, we know that we have a unique role to play in amplifying the voices of communities around the world.

GIST Policy and Advocacy team leads our agency’s work to support policy and regulatory reforms, promote best practices, and protect foreign assistance resources. We engage with policymakers, the world’s largest foreign aid donors, at the United Nations, and in the countries where we operate.

We rely on your voice, too. With your help, we can ensure that everyone is aware of these critical issues, from your friends to your federal representatives.
