Discovering and promoting effective solutions to global poverty problems.
Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) is a research and policy non-profit organization founded in 2002, with its headquarters in New Haven, USA. It was established to bridge the gap between academia and real-world policy by conducting rigorous evaluations of development programs. IPA’s mission is to discover and promote effective solutions to global poverty problems. With a strong presence in Africa, IPA collaborates with local governments, NGOs, and private sector partners to implement evidence-based strategies that improve the lives of the poor.
Operating in over 20 countries, IPA has conducted more than 800 evaluations, impacting millions of lives through its evidence-based approach. Its flagship programs focus on education, health, agriculture, financial inclusion, and governance. By rigorously testing interventions and scaling successful ones, IPA has significantly contributed to policy changes and development practices, enhancing socio-economic conditions for underserved populations globally.
IPA has a significant footprint in Africa, with active projects in countries such as Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, and Uganda. These regional hubs serve as focal points for conducting research and implementing interventions tailored to local contexts, ensuring that solutions are both effective and sustainable.
IPA’s key programs include initiatives like the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) in education, which has been scaled across several African countries. Additionally, IPA offers funding opportunities for innovative research through its Competitive Fund for Peace and Recovery, supporting projects that address pressing development challenges.
IPA’s impact is evidenced by its contribution to policy changes in over 20 countries, directly influencing programs that benefit millions. Notable achievements include the adoption of evidence-based education strategies in Zambia and the implementation of health interventions that have improved maternal and child health outcomes in several African nations.
