Vision
At AGI, we are building a world that centers equity, justice, and values-based leadership, advancing health and equitable development across sectors.
Our Approach
An idea is only as powerful as the impact it inspires. That’s why, we’re on the ground, across the globe, cultivating the local and regional leaders who are driving global movements. We’re working to decolonize global health and dismantle the wrongs of the past through values-based leadership, infused with the optimism of the Aspen Institute.
At the Aspen Global Innovators Group, we operate across four key areas to promote power-shifting and amplify voices from communities most affected by pressing challenges. Our approach involves:

Leadership Training
We provide training, fellowship, and networking opportunities for local leaders to build cross-sectoral leadership from within and across communities.
Knowledge Generation
We create platforms and facilitate dialogues to counter misinformation and inform the global health and development agenda.
Idea Incubation
We incubate and pilot new models of service delivery and financing that prioritize equity and keep humans at the center.
Narrative Development
We support intentional story development for leaders and communities to change public opinion and policy that honor Indigenous histories.
By fostering cross-sectoral collaborations, advocating for evidence-based policies, and investing in long-term capacity building, we strive to create sustainable solutions that address systemic inequalities and promote health equity worldwide. Through this comprehensive approach, the Aspen Global Innovators Group catalyzes positive change and promote equitable development worldwide.
