About IPA
Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) is a research and policy nonprofit that discovers and advances what works to improve the lives of people living in poverty. IPA brings together researchers and decisionmakers to design rigorously evaluate and refine these solutions and their applications ensuring that the evidence created is used to improve the lives of people living in poverty. In recent decades trillions of dollars have been spent on programs designed to reduce global poverty but clear evidence of which programs succeed is rare and when evidence does exist decisionmakers often do not know about it. IPA exists to bring together leading researchers and these decisionmakers to ensure that the evidence we create leads to a tangible impact on the world. Since its founding in 2002 IPA has worked with over 600 leading academics to conduct over 1000 evaluations in 52 countries. This research has informed hundreds of successful programs that now impact millions of individuals worldwide.
