Deadline: 3 February 2017
Evidence Action Beta is inviting researchers to submit a short expression of interest to collaborate in testing and scaling up results of rigorous research into policies and/or programs that have the potential to benefit millions of people living in poverty.
Evidence Action Beta is looking for ambitious researchers whose work or insights could benefit millions of people living in poverty, and who want to participate in seeing their research turned into viable, scaled up programs.
Evidence Action Beta are seeking researchers in international development who want to participate in the transformation of their research results into scaled-up programs and/or policies, with measurable social benefits for large numbers of poor households.
Eligibility Criteria
- Promising interventions from any sector will be considered, with the following requirements:
- The intervention has been tested in, or is relevant to, sub-Saharan Africa. Geographically, the activities tied to this Call for Results will focus on sub-Saharan Africa, but Evidence Action Beta is open to solutions that have been tested elsewhere and demonstrated positive economic effects.
- The intervention has been tested and found to have impact through at least one RCT or other rigorous empirical method. The positive impact should be documented in at least one peer-reviewed journal publication. Papers that have been accepted but are not yet published will also be considered.
- The intervention is clearly pro-poor, in that it has a direct link to poverty alleviation, with quantifiable economic benefits (i.e., income, consumption, employment, etc.) to poor households. Solutions in health, environment, or water and sanitation, for example, are of interest as long as they present an empirically-based connection to decreasing poverty.
- There are no further restrictions in terms of timeline, budget, institutional affiliation, or implementing agency.
