Proven Impact Initiative

 

Tackling global poverty is too important to leave to chance.  Which is why IPA has launched the Proven Impact Initiative – dedicated to ensuring that charitable giving is increasingly focused on those ideas that have been proven to work through rigorous evaluation in the real world.

Proven Impact

The Proven Impact Initiative targets several "Tested and Proven" ideas which stand out by virtue of their impact and cost-effectiveness at addresssing the problems of the poor. Each of these ideas helps the poor achieve improved health, education, or financial security, and has been rigorously tested through randomized evaluations conducted by IPA and its network of researchers.

As IPA and others learn more about what works, this list will continue to be updated.
