Iqbal Dhaliwal, the Global Executive Director of MIT’s Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), is this episode’s guest. J-PAL’s mission for the last twenty years has been to reduce poverty by ensuring that policy is informed by scientific evidence. Anchored by a network of hundreds of affiliated professors at universities around the world, J-PAL conducts rigorous research to find solutions to the world’s greatest challenges, and then translates its findings into action by promoting a culture of evidence-informed policymaking globally. Its work has been so impactful that its co-founders were awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Economics for their pioneering approach to alleviating global poverty. (0:36).
