About J-PAL

J-PAL LAC is a non-profit research center that aims to reduce global poverty by generating rigorous scientific evidence to inform social programs and public policies. As part of a global network of leading academics, J-PAL conducts randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to measure the impact of social programs and works closely with policymakers to translate evidence into effective policy design and implementation across multiple sectors and countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.

J-PAL organizes its work into three main areas:

  • Research: We partner with donors to create initiatives that fund research. We also implement RCT from data collection to data analysis.
  • Public policy: we summarize the results of the investigation, create alliances, and provide technical assistance to governments.
  • Training: We lead the executive training and develop a rigorous online education to build regional knowledge.
