    Adapting to a changing world

    Today, in the midst of a global pandemic that has imposed untold suffering on millions,there are signs of hope. Although the vaccine is being rolled out in the coming year, thepandemic will still alter the course of the next decade, particularly for the world’s poorestpeople.

    J-PAL was not immune to the many downsides of the Great Lockdown but continuedworking with many new and existing partners in creative ways to meet the needs of achanging world. We launched new research and scaling initiatives focused on addressingpressing challenges in climate change, labor markets, and women’s economic agency. Wealso opened our newest research center in the Middle East and North Africa region, whichwill focus on generating rigorous research to reduce poverty and support evidence-informed decision-making in the region. And our work evolved to meet the criticalresearch, policy, and training needs that arose as a result of the pandemic.

    I invite you to read our highlights from 2020 and how we’ll continue to build on lessonslearned during this challenging year in my annual letter.
