About IPA
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 600 leading academics to conduct over 830
evaluations in 52 countries. This research has informed hundreds of
successful programs that now impact millions of individuals worldwide.
