Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The form 990 is prepared by an accounting firm in conjunction with the organization's financial department. A copy of the draft form 990 is circulated electronically to the full board of trustees for discussion and comment. Each board member is provided opportunity to comment on the information contained in the 990 prior to filing with the internal revenue service.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The organization has a conflict of interest policy in place. All new board of directors and officers are asked to renew and acknowledge their compliance with the conflict of interest policy on an annual basis. The organization distributes an annual questionnaire to all board of directors and officers. The president presents conflicts of interest to the audit & finance committee, who is tasked with reviewing potential conflicts of interest and if necessary taking to the board of directors for further review and consideration for determining compliance.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The organization undertakes a thorough process for determining the compensation of its executive officers, and uses the same process for all employees. The organization relies on market analysis to determine compensation across all levels, using similarly sized organizations as a benchmark. The organization hired a nonprofit professional advisory group to perform the specific analysis. It should be noted that the president and ceo is the founder of the organization. The president draws no salary from innovations for poverty action. The board has a compensation committee which sets the compensation for the executive director and the senior management team reporting to the executive director.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The organization's audited financial statements, form 990 and annual summary are posted on the organization's website and are available at the address listed on page 1 of the form 990. The form 990 is, likewise, published on www.guidestar.org. The organization's governing documents and conflict of interest policy are available upon request and at management's discretion. They are often picked up for other charity evaluation websites such as charity navigator.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0EDUCATION: IN 2018, IPA HAD MORE THAN 40 ACTIVE EDUCATION STUDIES UNDERWAY ACROSS OUR 22 COUNTRY OFFICES. ONE OF THE LARGEST PROJECTS INVOLVES INVESTIGATING HOW TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF STUDENT LEARNING AT THE PRIMARY SCHOOL LEVEL IN KENYA. IN PARTICULAR, WE HOPE TO LEARN WHETHER THE TECHNOLOGICAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL METHODS USED BY BRIDGE INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIES INCREASE STUDENT LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT. OTHER LARGE RESEARCH PROJECTS INCLUDED TESTING THE IMPACT OF A PLAY-BASED COMMUNITY-RUN PRESCHOOL PROGRAM IN GHANA, AND MEASURING THE IMPACT OF BILINGUAL AND INTERCULTURAL PRESCHOOL MATH CURRICULA ON THE MATH SKILLS OF PRESCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN IN PANAMA, AND MANY MORE. IN ADDITION TO MANAGING A LARGE PORTFOLIO OF EDUCATION PROJECTS, IN 2018 WE USED POLICY FUNDING TO DEEPEN OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH DECISION-MAKERS, GREW OUR EXPERTISE IN THE GLOBAL LANDSCAPE OF EDUCATION EVIDENCE, CO-CREATED NEW POLICY-RELEVANT EVALUATIONS IN COLLABORATION WITH DECISION-MAKERS, AND MADE SIGNIFICANT STRIDES TOWARD EQUIPPING OUR POLICY PARTNERS TO INSTITUTIONALIZE EVIDENCE-INFORMED DECISION-MAKING IN THEIR WORK. SUCCESS IN THESE GOALS HAS ULTIMATELY IMPROVED EDUCATION FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN ALREADY-AND IS IMPROVING EDUCATION FOR MANY TIMES MORE AS OUR GOVERNMENT PARTNERS SCALE UP THE LESSONS THEY HAVE LEARNED.

ON-GOING WORK IN 2018 INCLUDED A STUDY ON THE IMPACT OF MATCHING INCENTIVES FOR RETIREMENT SAVINGS TARGETING INFORMAL SECTOR WORKERS IN PERU, AND A STUDY IN TANZANIA ON THE IMPACT OF MOBILE SAVINGS WALLETS ON YOUNG WOMEN. IN 2018, TWO NEW PAPERS WERE RELEASED ON THE RESULTS OF STUDIES FUNDED BY IPA'S FINANCIAL INCLUSION PROGRAM. FIRST, FINDINGS FROM MALAWI SHOWED THAT THE PROVISION OF MULTIPLE LABELED SAVINGS ACCOUNTS INCREASED SAVINGS BY 30%, WITH SIZEABLE EFFECTS ON OTHER OUTCOMES SUCH AS HOUSEHOLD EXPENDITURES, AGRICULTURAL INVESTMENTS, ASSET PURCHASES, AND INTERPERSONAL TRANSFERS. A SECOND STUDY FROM INDIA EXPLORED THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL NORMS ON WOMEN'S WORK DECISIONS. IN ADDITION TO FUNDED RESEARCH, IN 2018 IPA'S FINANCIAL INCLUSION PROGRAM DEVELOPED A NEW RESEARCH SUMMARY PAPER ON EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FOR FINANCIAL INCLUSION AND RESILIENCE OUTCOMES AT THE INDIVIDUAL AND HOUSEHOLD LEVEL. THE PROGRAM ALSO HELD DISSEMINATION EVENTS IN SIERRA LEONE, ZAMBIA, AND MYANMAR IN 2018, IN ADDITION TO PRESENTING RESEARCH AT SEVEN CONFERENCES AND EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0INNOVATIONS FOR POVERTY ACTION (IPA) IS A RESEARCH AND POLICY NONPROFIT THAT DISCOVERS AND PROMOTES EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS TO GLOBAL POVERTY PROBLEMS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TOP RESEARCHERS IN THE FIELD, WE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT RANDOMIZED EVALUATIONS TO MEASURE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PROGRAMS AND POLICIES AIMED AT HELPING THE POOR. WE SPECIALIZE IN RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS (RCTS) BECAUSE THIS RIGOROUS METHODOLOGY ALLOWS US TO ISOLATE THE EFFECTS OF A PROGRAM FROM OTHER FACTORS. LIKE IN MEDICAL TRIALS, RESEARCHERS ASSIGN PARTICIPANTS AT RANDOM TO DIFFERENT STUDY GROUPS. ONE OR MORE GROUPS RECEIVE A PROGRAM (THE "TREATMENT GROUPS") AND ANOTHER GROUP SERVES AS THE COMPARISON (OR "CONTROL") GROUP.IPA EVALUATIONS DO NOT SIMPLY GIVE A PASSING OR FAILING GRADE TO PROGRAMS, BUT RATHER SEEK TO UNCOVER AND DISENTANGLE CAUSAL MECHANISMS AND DETERMINE WHICH ADJUSTMENTS WILL MAKE A PROGRAM MORE EFFECTIVE.OUR WELL-ESTABLISHED PARTNERSHIPS IN THE COUNTRIES WHERE WE WORK, AND A STRONG UNDERSTANDING OF LOCAL CONTEXTS, HELP MAKE OUR RESEARCH PROJECTS SUCCESSFUL. OUR TEAMS OPERATING IN 22 COUNTRIES WORK ON THE GROUND TO DEVELOP NEW STUDIES WITH NGOS AND GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS INTERESTED IN CONDUCTING RIGOROUS EVALUATIONS OF THEIR PROGRAMS AND IN TESTING NEW IDEAS. IPA HAS MORE THAN 1,000 RESEARCH STAFF WHO IMPLEMENT THE RESEARCH ON THE GROUND. STUDIES RANGE IN TIME FROM MONTHS, TO YEARS, TO DECADES.ONCE AN INTERVENTION HAS PROVEN EFFECTIVE IN ONE CONTEXT, WE WORK TO TEST IT IN OTHER CONTEXTS. THIS REPLICATION PROCESS IS AN ESSENTIAL STEP ON THE PATH TO SCALING UP EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS.IPA HAS AN EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF MORE THAN 600 RESEARCHERS FROM AMONG THE TOP UNIVERSITIES IN THE WORLD WHO COLLABORATE WITH US IN DESIGNING AND CONDUCTING THE EVALUATIONS. MANY OF THESE ACADEMICS ARE PIONEERS IN THEIR FIELDS OF RESEARCH, PARTICULARLY IN DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS.TO DATE, WE HAVE DESIGNED AND EVALUATED MORE THAN 550 POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS TO POVERTY PROBLEMS AND HAVE OVER 280 MORE EVALUATIONS IN PROGRESS. WITH THIS EXPERIENCE, IPA HAS DEVELOPED EXTENSIVE EXPERTISE IN CONDUCTING SUCCESSFUL EVALUATIONS, FROM THE INITIAL CONCEPT STAGE TO THE SHARING OF RESULTS.
