Did you know that in 2024, there are 692 million people worldwide that are living on less than $2.15 per day? Rotarians worldwide promote economic and community development through investments and service projects through various avenues:
- Building the capacity of entrepreneurs, community leaders, local organizations, and local and community networks to support economic development in impoverished communities;
- Developing opportunities for productive rest;
- Reducing poverty in under-served communities;
- Supporting studies for career-minded professionals related to economic and community development.

The Rotary Action Group for Community Economic Development (RAGCED) is a global network of experts that strives to be a source of knowledge and expertise to help Rotarians plan, implement and manage impactful and sustainable economic development projects and create lasting change in poor and underserved communities. This is accomplished through investing in communities, providing training and skill development, empowering marginalized communities, addressing gender and class disparities, increasing access to renewable energy and energy-efficiency measures, and strengthening local communities to respond to environmental and climate change-related hazards/natural disasters.
