Displacement is at an all-time high and is projected to climb in the coming decades, making it more necessary than ever to identify impactful and cost-effective programs and policies that enable refugees and others forced to flee to achieve self-reliance and rebuild their lives. Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) and J-PAL recently launched DLI, to respond to this need.
DLI will generate new evidence on how to best ensure sustainable livelihoods and achieve self-reliance for displaced populations and host communities. Ultimately, research supported by the initiative aims to support the design of better policies and programs for displaced populations to rebuild their lives.
