Description

The Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) was established in 2003 as a research center at the Economics Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Since then, it has grown into a global network of researchers who use randomized evaluations to answer critical policy questions in the fight against poverty.

J-PAL's mission is to reduce poverty by ensuring that policy is based on scientific evidence, and research is translated into action. We do this through three main activities: Conducting rigorous impact evaluations, policy outreach, and capacity building.
