BDI, anchored in the basic ethos of BRAC – developing solutions to the challenges of poverty, inequity and social injustice, recognizes the following as its core functions:

• creating knowledge: ensuring visibility of the innovative development experiences in the South and upholding the southern voice in the global development discourse
• convening experts: providing a convening platform for practitioners, academics and policy makers to come together to focus on specific problems of the poor and develop new strategies and pathways to alleviate these conditions
• incubating ideas: field testing fresh, new ideas through rigorous qualitative and quantitative studies and pilot projects to understand process and impacts and thus, distilling best practice lessons for adaptation and scaling up
• advocating policy:  working with policy makers to promote pro-poor development strategies
