Junior Economist — IDinsight
IDinsight is a consulting, data analytics and research organization guided by a strong mission: to help decision makers maximize their social impact. We mobilize a wide range of analytical tools and methods to produce evidence, support the design of effective projects and programs, and rigorously test their impact on communities. We work with all the actors who innovate in Asia and Africa — governments, multilateral agencies, foundations, non-profit organizations and social enterprises — and cover a wide range of sectors, including agriculture and rural development, education and training, health and public health, but also governance, infrastructure and financial inclusion.
We have specific expertise on a wide range of rigorous approaches and methodologies, which we adapt to each project according to the needs and constraints of our partners. To achieve positive social impact, we help our partners use evidence for decision-making, conduct research to inform funding decisions in favour of high-impact initiatives and at the expense of less effective programs or approaches, and create and share our know-how, tools and ideas to promote the use of evidence in public policy.
