Research Initiatives
IPA research initiatives are focused portfolios of research projects designed in concert to provide actionable answers to the questions of policy makers and practitioners working in specific fields. While we also have projects across a variety of sectors, IPA hopes that, by concentrating research within an initiative, it will improve the relevance and accessibility for policy-makers, practitioners and others who work in these fields.

Proven, Cost-effective Strategies for helping the Poor
