We are a research and policy non-profit that creates and shares evidence, so decision-makers can reduce poverty.

In recent decades, trillions of dollars have been spent on programmes designed to reduce global poverty, but clear evidence on which programmes succeed is rare, and when evidence does exist, decision-makers often do not know about it. We bring together leading researchers and decision-makers to ensure that the evidence we create leads to tangible impact. Our research, over 20 years with more than 600 leading academics in 52 countries, has informed hundreds of successful programmes that now impact millions of individuals worldwide.

We are the technical lead for research within the USAID funded Global Labor Program – Inclusive Futures. Our role will be to collect data and evaluate the programme’s impact – primarily on workers and producers, but also on consumers.
