About IPA
Innovations for Poverty Action IPA is a research and policy non-profit that
discovers and promotes effective solutions to global poverty problems. IPA

evaluate, and refine these solutions and their applications, ensuring that the
evidence created is used to improve the lives of the world’s poor. In recent
decades, trillions of dollars have been spent on programs designed to reduce
global poverty, but clear evidence on which programs succeed is rare, and when
evidence does exist, decision-makers often do not know about it. IPA exists to

over 600 evaluations in 51 countries. This research has informed hundreds of
