Custom Offerings
Partner with J-PAL to design a custom training program tailored to your organization's goals.
Designed for a range of partners—including governments, NGOs, foundations, and multilateral organizations—our custom courses build skills to use and produce rigorous evidence in specific areas of interest. J-PAL works with partners to co-develop custom training offerings tailored to their sector, region, and learning goals. These collaborations can take the form of a single course, course series, or embedded training as part of a broader research or policy partnership. J-PAL can offer custom training courses in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, or Indonesian. Read more about how our custom training initiatives helped strengthen evaluation partnerships in Egypt and Indonesia.
Tailored versions of our flagship courses
Evidence to Policy courses
Typically delivered as a two- to three-day workshop, Evidence to Policy courses focus on how to find, interpret, and apply scientific evidence to inform decision-making.
Advanced impact evaluation courses
J-PAL’s advanced courses for researchers and professionals familiar with econometrics offer in-depth guidance for designing randomized evaluations, with practical insights on data collection and analysis.
Evaluation incubators
J-PAL’s evaluation incubators combine training with resources and technical support from J-PAL staff and affiliated researchers to guide participants in designing an evaluation of their own program.
“Joining this incubator enabled my ideas to take root and flourish, nurtured by the collective brilliance of curious minds. It allowed me to connect the dots between research and implementation.”
Bora Arican, Turkey Country Director, Building Markets
