J-PAL América Latina e Caribe

O J-PAL América Latina e Caribe (LAC), sediado na Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Chile, lidera o trabalho do J-PAL na região da LAC. O J-PAL LAC realiza avaliações aleatorizadas, constrói parcerias para a formulação de políticas informadas por evidências e ajuda organizações parceiras a ampliar programas eficazes.

Nossa equipe de pesquisa trabalha com a rede acadêmica afiliada ao J-PAL para medir o impacto de programas e políticas sociais na LAC. Por meio de cursos online e presenciais, treinamos pessoas que formulam  e implementam políticas públicas, organizações doadoras e instituições de advocacy sobre como gerar e utilizar evidências rigorosas. Nossa equipe de políticas trabalha para institucionalizar esse aprendizado e disseminar resultados das pesquisas para governos e outros parceiros
