The Result Day

Held on the last weekend of June in each country where The Result operates, mobilizing resources to transform the lives of people in need.

Background and rationale

When aid shrinks, communities mobilize

The world is falling behind on its development promises while the money to fix them is shrinking. Only 35% of the Sustainable Development Goal targets with trend data are on track or moving moderately, and more than 800 million people still live in extreme poverty (United Nations, 2025).

The burden falls hardest on Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa holds about 23% of the world's children but nearly three-quarters of children in extreme poverty, over 312 million, and its child poverty rate of about 52% did not move between 2014 and 2024 (World Bank and UNICEF, 2025).

At the same time, international aid fell by 23.1% in real terms in 2025, the largest annual drop in its history (OECD, 2026). Communities can no longer rely on donors alone; resources must also be mobilized locally, from businesses, institutions, the diaspora, and individuals.
