Evidence Action\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a gap between what research shows is effective in development and what happens in practice. Evidence Action bridges the gap, translating research into tangible results at scale.<\/p>\n

A sister organization of MIT\u2019s Poverty Action Lab<\/a> (J-PAL) and Innovations for Poverty Action<\/a>, Evidence Action <\/a>is a new organization committed to scaling up proven, cost-effective, and sustainable interventions. Evidence Action was just selected by GiveWell as one of the top 3 charities of 2013<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dispensers for Safe Water is one of Evidence Action\u2019s two major initiatives. Dispensers for Safe Water combines an innovative chlorine dispenser technology with on-going service delivery to provide safe water in East Africa, reducing diarrheal disease by 40% and costing less than $0.50\/person at scale. Dispensers reach over one million people now, and the program plans to scale to 25 million people by 2018 through innovative financing mechanisms.<\/p>\n

Intern Qualifications & Role<\/strong> (for more information, click here<\/a>)<\/p>\n
