MISSION
At DAI, we are passionate about what we do.
DAI has built a diverse body of work comparable in scope and impact with any development firm in the world. But we are far from complacent. Despite our global scale, our record of success, and our deep-rooted client and partner relationships, DAI remains today what it was as a fledgling company in the 1970s: innovative, alert, self-critical, and forward-looking—consistently driven by a powerful sense of corporate purpose.

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.

In pursuing this mission, DAI's employee owners observe an ethic of integrity, respect, collaboration, and excellence. As a company, we hold true to three core commitments: to our customers' success, to employee opportunity, and to the long-term prosperity of the firm. We strive to achieve sustainable growth and strong business results so that we can fulfill all three of these core commitments.

Our experience over almost four decades has taught us to nurture and combine these basic strengths:
  • In-depth understanding of development drivers and constraints at both macro and micro levels
  • Creative yet practical innovation delivered in a timely, flexible, and responsive manner
  • Fielding project management teams that combine the best available international and local talent
  • Producing results that meet, and usually exceed, the high expectations of our clients

Backed by comprehensive, sure-footed project management systems and on-the-ground presence worldwide, our technical specialists reach freely across DAI's practices to deploy these basic strengths and bring all of DAI's relevant resources to bear on solving problems for our clients.
