Using Evidence to Improve Jobs and Income in Agriculture 

This course provides practical, evidence-based guidance for designing effective agricultural interventions. It translates rigorous research into actionable recommendations across key areas, including extension systems, input subsidies, irrigation, climate resilience, and market access.

By offering a framework for critical design decisions and guidance on how to tailor evidence to the local context, participants learn how to maximize impact and minimize distortions. The course draws on the Development Economics Planet Lab toolkit, which curates global evidence into actionable design principles tailored to operational decision-making.
