About Innovations for
Poverty Action: Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) is a non-profit
organization dedicated to discovering and promoting effective solutions to
global poverty problems.

In close partnership with decision makers — the
policymakers, practitioners, investors, and donors working with the poor around
the world — IPA designs and  evaluates potential solutions to poverty
problems using randomized evaluations, the most rigorous evaluation
method  available. We also mobilize and support these decision-makers to
use these solutions to build better programs and policies at scale. 

About the Project: The research seeks to
find out how service delivery affects host community willingness to share 
public services with refugees, in what ways this varies by real and perceived
levels of scarcity within sectors and how  service delivery shocks such as
a pandemic impact willingness to share services. The plan is to analyze how
changes  in perceptions of access to and quality of services, particularly
the education sector and the labor market affect host  citizen attitudes
towards refugees in localities. Data collection will be done with communities
around Dadaab and  Kakuma refugee camps – localities near refugee
camps.
