Work Station: Central, Western, Eastern Regions, Uganda
Reports to: Research Associate
About US:
Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) is a research and policy nonprofit
that discovers and promotes effective solutions to global poverty problems. IPA
brings together researchers and decision-makers to design, rigorously evaluate,
and refine these solutions and their applications, ensuring that the evidence
created is used to improve the lives of the world’s poor. In recent decades,
trillions of dollars have been spent on programs designed to reduce global
poverty, but clear evidence on which programs succeed is rare, and when
evidence does exist, decision-makers often do not know about it. IPA exists to
bring together leading researchers and these decision-makers to ensure that the
evidence we create leads to tangible impact on the world. Since its founding in
2002, IPA has worked with over 575 leading academics to conduct over 650
evaluations in 51 countries. This research has informed hundreds of successful
programs that now impact millions of individuals worldwide.
