Using Data to Inform Education Programming in Peru During COVID
[link removed]
-19
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted education systems across the world. In Peru, persistent existing challenges like regional inequality and high dropout rates among vulnerable students left the country’s 8 million school children particularly vulnerable to COVID-19’s impacts. IPA, Peru's Ministry of Education (Minedu), and its partners conducted a series of research activities to respond to COVID-19’s education challenges. The results had concrete impacts on education policy in Peru, supporting Minedu’s efforts to make informed decisions about how to deliver education during the pandemic. IPA also collaborated to update the content of a telenovela campaign to reduce school dropout that had been previously evaluated in collaboration with Minedu.

Advancing Evidence-Based Development Assistance: An Open Letter to President-Elect Biden and Vice President-Elect Harris from IPA
[link removed]
By Annie Duflo, Heidi McAnnally-Linz, and Radha Rajkotia
At this moment, we call on our new leadership to promote a culture of innovation and to commit to non-partisan policy-making that relies on science and evidence to inform international development. The U.S. has historically played a leadership role in funding and shaping international development assistance, serving as a global example on pressing issues including poverty, climate change, and reducing conflict. We are excited to see the U.S. resume this role, placing innovation, research, and development at the forefront of these efforts—investing in research, scaling what works, and divesting from what doesn’t.

By Rodrigo Canales, Julia Madrazo, and Jessica Zarkin
The pandemic has set in motion a series of crises that have not only presented enormous challenges for all governments but also have exposed and exacerbated pre-existing inequalities and fault lines. In few areas has this been more evident than in the relationship between police forces and the citizens they serve. To examine how COVID-19 has affected citizen perceptions and the challenges faced by the police, researchers worked with IPA on two complementary studies. The first, focused on public perceptions, was part of our 10-country RECOVR survey measuring a number of COVID-affected outcomes. The second was an extension of ongoing research, led by Rodrigo Canales of the Yale School of Management, studying how to build effective, resilient, and trusted police organizations in Mexico. This post covers results and lessons from these studies.
