ODI celebrated its 50th anniversary on 9 June with a reception at the British Academy in London. Staff past and present were there, alongside other experts and leaders from the development and humanitarian worlds. It was our chance to say a big thank you to those who have worked with us, supported us, and  inspired us over the last half century.

The event saw ODI friends and family taking the opportunity to share fond memories of the UK’s leading think-tank on international development and humanitarian issues.
