We engage in research focused on understanding and finding solutions to poverty issues around the world. Our projects produce working papers and datasets and use a cluster framework. Clusters can either be built around sectors or geographic areas. Currently, our clusters are organized as follows:

Geographic Clusters

Sectoral Clusters

  • Research Methods

Additionally, GPRL is engaging in COVID-related research aimed at slowing the already devastating spread of COVID-19 and ameliorating the pandemic’s socioeconomic consequences.

Some of our most recent research is also featured in our quarterly newsletter. View the GPRL 2021 Spring Quarter Newsletter now.

Right now, we have over 16 projects in over 10 countries.
