The Poverty Action Lab's Evidence Review

The Poverty Action Lab conducts systematic reviews of studies focused on poverty alleviation interventions. They evaluate the effectiveness of various programs, such as education, health, and economic initiatives, by analyzing data from randomized controlled trials. The goal is to identify what works, what doesn’t, and why, providing policymakers and organizations with reliable evidence to inform their decisions. By synthesizing research findings, the Lab helps ensure that resources are allocated to strategies that have been proven to effectively improve lives and reduce poverty, driving progress towards sustainable development goals.
