Our impact in numbers

What the numbers show

These figures count organisations, policy bodies, funders and researchers outside WFI that have used, cited or engaged with WFI's work since 2019. Each figure shows its source and date range. Organisations whose only link is WFI presenting at their conference or event are not counted.

Not exhaustive

These lists are not exhaustive. WFI does not know every organisation or policy body that has used its results, so the true numbers are likely higher.

Organisations

Organisations are shown by type and country only. Funders are shown as a total; one funder entry may duplicate another.
