List of Jesuit development centres

This is a partial list of centres founded worldwide by the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) which are directed primarily toward social and economic development for the poor and marginalized. Included in this would be research, training, advocacy, and action for human development, as well as direct services. While a city is listed for most of the organizations, it is difficult to describe the locale in which many of them operate, as with the Jesuit Refugee Service which in 2015 was active in 51 countries.
