Means testing development

A while ago I posted this TED talk by Esther Duflo which struck me as immensely innovative and was the first time I had heard of means testing development articulated so well. Having read a brief article on her in some Sunday newspaper magazine I really enjoyed hearing what she had to say.

Well... I recently learned about this NGO which is pretty cool and practices what Duflo was preaching. The NGO is called Jameel Poverty Action Lab whose mission is "to reduce poverty by ensuring that policy is based on scientific evidence, and research is translated into action".

Pretty cool I think.

They also have a job section where you can fill in a general application for work. I'm still waiting to hear back :)
