DAI is currently implementing over 100 projects in 64 countries and we employ more than 2000 people worldwide. DAI's mission is to make a difference in the world by helping societies and economies become more prosperous, fairer and more just, safer, more stable, more efficient, and better governed. Our world-class energy and environmental services team ensures that effective natural resource management is integrated into all DAI projects, so economic competitiveness is achieved in a sustainable way that respects the environment and the livelihoods that depend on it. Through innovations in renewable energy, energy efficiency, forestry, watershed resource management, water supply and sanitation, financing and business development, and local governance reform, we help improve the welfare of communities worldwide. |
| Focus and activities: |
Energy — We work at the intersection of climate change adaptation and mitigation on initiatives that include promoting renewable energy, supporting energy efficiency, and promoting carbon offset initiatives that reward "low carbon emitters" (organizations that use renewable energy or are especially efficient in meeting their energy needs) and carbon sequesterers such as forest management groups with funding from "high-carbon emitters" (typically industries in developing countries that buy carbon credits to offset their emissions). Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation — We build the capacity and catalyze the commitment of governments and community groups to adopt resource management strategies that mitigate climate change as well as adapt to its near-term local economic impacts. Our work includes brokering payments for ecosystem services ranging from carbon markets to revenues from tourism and improved watershed management. |
