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.
