Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) Call for Proposals: Researcher Diversification Initiative Exploratory Small Grant Funds for Researchers Based in Africa

Since early 2021, Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) has pursued a strategy to diversify its research network. Despite conducting more than 900 impact evaluations with an extensive global network of researchers and institutions, only twenty-seven percent of that network comes from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), a pattern that mirrors the wider development industry, where most research is still produced by researchers based in the Global North.
