Hi John,
Happy New Year from IPA! As we usher in a new decade, I want to extend my thanks to you for being a part of our community. Last year, we worked with many of you to generate rigorous evidence and influence global (and local) debates in 21 countries around the world. This work ranged from collecting data on how to effectively support refugees and host communities in Bangladesh to evaluating ways to
reduce intimate partner violence in Uganda, all the while working to ensure evidence is actually used to reduce poverty and improve lives around the world. We didn't do any of this alone—we rely on deep partnerships with researchers, practitioners, policymakers, donors, and many others. We are so grateful for your partnership.
We are excited for the progress to come in 2020—we will be expanding our path-to-scale research to better understand what works in different contexts, continuing our Embedded Evidence Labs, sharing new insights from our cutting-edge Research Methods Initiative, and so much more—stay tuned for updates as the year progresses!
On behalf of those who benefit from our work, along with our staff, partners, and research affiliates around the globe, we thank you for supporting the evidence movement and helping ensure IPA continues to improve lives by discovering and advancing what works to reduce poverty.
With sincere appreciation,
Annie Duflo
Executive Director, IPA |
