  • Introducing IPA and J-PAL’s new Displaced Livelihoods Initiative: Displacement is at an all-time high and is projected to climb in the coming decades, making it more necessary than ever to identify impactful and cost-effective programs and policies that enable refugees and others forced to flee to achieve self-reliance and rebuild their lives. To address this growing need, Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) and the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) have launched the Displaced Livelihoods Initiative (DLI), a new research fund supported by the IKEA Foundation that will generate new and rigorous evidence on livelihoods programs for displaced populations and host communities. DLI will support cutting-edge research and policy work, with the goal of identifying, evaluating, and informing innovative and effective solutions to help displaced people rebuild their lives and livelihoods after being forced to flee their homes. Sule Alan (European University Institute), Jeannie Annan (International Rescue Committee), Luc Behaghel (Paris School of Economics), and Mushfiq Mobarak (Yale University) will serve as the academic leads. Their extensive experience and knowledge will be instrumental in guiding the direction and impact of the initiative. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3NC1boI
