Devex is a social enterprise and media platform for the global development community. It aims to connect with and inform development, health, humanitarian, and sustainability professionals through news, business intelligence, funding and career opportunities related to international development.^[4] As an independent news organization, Devex employs more than 100 staff members in different locations, including Washington, D.C., where the organization is headquartered. It also maintains offices in Barcelona and Manila.^[5]

Devex has more than 800,000 registered members within the international development community, including development organizations, donor agencies, suppliers and aid workers. The company claims to have more than 1 million active users.^[6]

Devex's president and editor-in-chief, Raj Kumar, began the organization in 2000 as a student project at Harvard Kennedy School at Harvard University. Kumar’s goal was to lower the administrative costs of donor agencies so they could devote a greater share of resources to foreign-assistance projects themselves.^[7]
