DevEx on development exectives, RCTs and local involvment
The development community website DevEx has two articles related to IPA, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and a recent survey of development executives. An article here explains their findings on awareness and attitudes towards RCTs, including a concise summary of advantages and limitations of the method, and how they have been used in deworming policy and implementation. This article discusses attitudes among executives towards practicing development at the local versus institutional levels, with IPA's Philippines office director Nassreena Sampaco-Baddiri discussing how the two perspectives are complimentary in IPA's work.
