Development economists get training at the intersection of research and practice


June 16, 2021
Poverty is a daunting obstacle around the world, but it can be chipped at bit by bit. A girl will have a better chance of escaping poverty if the quality of education she receives is higher. A woman will have more economic mobility if she acquires a marketable skill. Families will become less poor if the bag of rice that the government promises actually reaches them.
 
Making these incremental improvements often involves long-term collaboration between researchers and policymakers, which is why Evidence for Policy Design (EPoD) at Harvard Kennedy School’s Center for International Development (CID) works with governments and other policy actors through close, long-term research-policy engagements that design, test, and enable better policy in developing countries.
