IPA's Ripple Effect

Many industries spend a lot on research & development (R&D), but in the international development world, it is less than 1%. Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) is the R&D engine of the development sector, with high-quality research using the same method used in medical trials, i.e. randomized evaluations. IPA figures out what actually works and what doesn't, so individuals, governments, and charities can leverage limited resources. Learn more about IPA's ripple effect in this short animated film. Investing in IPA is high-impact, high leverage and ripples out to help create a better world. Join us in building a world with more evidence and less poverty by supporting our work at poverty-action.org/donate, and learn more about our work at poverty-action.org.
