This page lists research projects that are being developed by IPA and others. Our goal is to document active studies taking place on COVID-19’s socio-economic impacts—and results, as they come in—in order to inform researchers and decision-makers working to mitigate the crisis. As this is a public good, the hub contains both IPA and non-IPA studies. Inclusion criteria for the hub can be found here, and new projects and questionnaires can be submitted here.

In partnership with the Bangladeshi&nbsp;government, researchers&nbsp;will evaluate two remote learning initiatives targeted at post-primary education: (a) daily televised lessons for grades 6-10, and (b) an online learning platform, that acts as repository for the televised lessons and where students can also complete quizzes.</p>
