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 decision-makers 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, decision-makers often do not know about it.

IPA
exists to bring together leading researchers and these decision-makers
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 1,000 evaluations in 52 countries. This
research has informed hundreds of successful programs that now impact
millions of individuals worldwide.

Safeguarding at IPA
At
Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA), we are committed to creating a
safe and respectful environment for all individuals, particularly
children and vulnerable adults. As IPA adheres to strict safeguarding
principles, selected candidates will be expected to adhere to these
standards. By joining IPA, you become part of a team dedicated to
ethical conduct, social responsibility, and meaningful impact in the
fight against global poverty. Together, we work to create a better world
where everyone has the opportunity to thrive with dignity and respect.
