How can the world do better to use existing evidence to accelerate progress towards the SDGs?

The Wellcome Trust's vision is a healthier future for everyone. We believe science is at the heart of achieving this, but science alone is not enough.

Absolutely delighted to have @wellcometrust providing the brilliant @OurWorldInData team with long-term support.

Vital to have high quality, accessible public goods like this that help us all develop a clearer understanding of the world and the trends that are shaping it.

As Hetan — the chair of our board — says, the Wellcome Trust has given @OurWorldInData a major grant.

Wellcome is the biggest funder of our nonprofit, and we are very much looking forward to what we can do in the coming seven years!
