The world’s poor disproportionately suffer from ill health, which in turn makes adults less able to work and children less able to go to school. Unexpected health expenses can devastate a poor family’s fragile household budget. Improving the health of the poor will allow more people to create and seize opportunities to live a better life. The IPA projects in this sector are helping us find out what interventions are the most effective in changing health outcomes to improve the lives of the poor.
