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:
Our Three Areas of Work

Elevating Local Leadership
We prioritize elevating the voices of local leaders who are at the forefront of global movements for change. By supporting and connecting these leaders, we enable them to spearhead equitable transformations in health and development within their communities.
Sustainable Global Impact
We are committed to ensuring that our initiatives have a lasting and sustainable impact on global health and development. We are committed to advancing equitable access to care that respects and honors culturally informed values. Our efforts focus on removing the harmful vestiges of colonialism from healthcare systems and ensuring that all individuals receive dignified and culturally sensitive care.
Compelling Change Through Storytelling
We know the power of storytelling to elevate the voices of marginalized communities and advocate for their needs globally. Through storytelling, convenings, and advocacy campaigns, we aim to bring attention to overlooked challenges and solutions, influence policies promoting equitable healthcare access, address systemic inequalities, and compel meaningful change.
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.
