The network of MDP partners spans multiple sectors, scales, and types of organizations. They include nonprofits, research centers, government agencies, and community organizations. MDP students engage with partner organizations in two ways.

During two summers, MDP students conduct field practicums in the Global South or in the U.S. to learn about the complexities of development practice in real-life settings and gain valuable skills and networks.

During the academic year, while at Emory, most MDP students engage in optional internship in Atlanta or virtually: some of these experiences lead to enriching summer field practicum and/or employment.

New partnerships are continuously being developed to align field practicum opportunities with students' interests. Below are some of the organizations that MD students have worked with in recent years.
