About DMI
Development Media International (DMI) creates evidence-based behaviour change
campaigns to improve health and save lives. We deliver at scale to maximise
impact and cost-effectiveness. We are the first organisation to scientifically
demonstrate that mass media can increase life-saving behaviours. In 2018 DMI [
published ](https//gh.bmj.com/content/3/4/e000808) the results of its 5-year,
£7m randomised controlled trial (RCT) in West Africa which showed that 56%
more children were taken for treatment for malaria, 73% more for diarrhoea,
and 39% more for pneumonia following exposure to our campaign. Modelling
indicates that over 3000 lives were saved during the campaign and that our
approach is one of the most cost-effective ways of saving children’s lives. We
have subsequently undertaken a second RCT which showed that the modern
contraceptive prevalence rate was 20% higher in areas exposed to DMI’s
messaging compared to areas that were not.
DMI has two priorities first, to continue to generate ground-breaking
research (we have just completed a second successful randomised control trial
measuring our impact on contraceptive uptake), second, to take our proven
strategies to scale, saving as many lives as possible. We work across a range
of health issues, including child survival, reproductive health, nutrition,
hygiene, and early childhood development. DMI works in close partnership with
leading experts in health, including WHO, UNICEF and LSHTM and has been funded
by some of the world’s most prestigious organisations including GiveWell,
Skoll, the Wellcome Trust, DFID, Comic Relief, the Global Innovation Fund,
Unorthodox Philanthropy, and the Mulago Foundation.
We are an innovative and rapidly growing organisation, working at the nexus
between science and creativity. DMI has demonstrated that knowledge is not
only a human right but is also the key to saving lives in a cost-effective
way. Our intellectual rigour, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn from both
our successes and mistakes, makes us distinct. Our ethos is non-hierarchical
all our staff are intellectually high-powered, and we have a “best idea wins”
culture. By working at DMI you will have a genuine, measurable impact on
improving lives in low-income countries.
DMI has a permanent presence in Burkina Faso, Mozambique and Tanzania and has
recently expanded to Cote d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Malawi, Uganda, and
Zambia. Its regional operations include five more countries in West Africa as
well as Burundi. DMI’s headquarters is in the UK and provides the strategic
direction for the whole organisation.
DMI is ranked as one of the most cost-effective non-profit organisations in
the world by GiveWell and was the first organisation to receive the maximum
rating from Impact Matters. It is also endorsed by the Centre for Effective
Altruism, Giving What We Can, and The Life You Can Save.
