IFPRI’s wide range of partnerships in Bangladesh have influenced the design and operation of large-scale national programs and provided real-time policy analysis during times of crisis. The country’s commitment to using research to guide policy decisions has helped to foster a culture of evaluation that can truly have an impact on hunger and malnutrition.
Enhancing nutrition and ending poverty: IFPRI and India

IFPRI’s research project, Contracting Out Poverty: Experimental Approaches to Innovation in Agricultural Markets with Small Farmers, explored three innovative contract structures to solve this problem, focusing on markets for high-value crops in three diverse locations: Peru, Tanzania, and Viet Nam. Using randomized trials, innovative contract designs were developed with private companies in each country (a mango producer in Peru and milk processors in Viet Nam and Tanzania).
