The Global Social Competitiveness Index (GSCI),  is an initiative emerging out of conversations at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland and will operate out of Durham, NC (taking unabashed ownership!). It is the first attempt to measure and compare the capacity of countries - government, the private sector and civil society - to innovate and scale up solutions to the social and environmental problems they face. The GSCI will measure countries' potential to deliver economic growth and sustainable improvement in the lives of their citizens. Its goals are to spur discussion and research on how to best tackle social problems and to drive social innovation higher up on the political agenda, making the world a better place to do good.  See the job descriptions for more details.
