Best bets: fourteen innovations with potential for impact at scale | Loic Watine | EAG London: 2024

In this session, Loic presents the concept of emerging innovations in international development (a.k.a Best Bets) and goes over the 14 that IPA has identified in a recent flagship report. As Chief Research & Policy Officer for Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA), Loic's work is about championing research and evidence that is connected with real-world decision-makers to improve the lives of people living in poverty. In practice, Loic oversees IPA's various sector programs, IPA's Policy team, and the Right-Fit-Evidence unit—an advisory unit that helps funders and implementers with their own use of M&E (monitoring and evaluation), data and evidence.
