Pathways to Prosperity Project

Description:

The “Pathways to Prosperity Project” will develop actionable and scalable solutions to address the “wicked problem” of mobility from poverty around the world. The solutions will inform better decision-making and policy and empower individuals and communities to break free from the poverty trap and realize better living outcomes.

The project will consist of the following:

Research: Rigorous scientific research to characterize the current dynamics of upward mobility in communities and develop actionable solutions to create mobility pathways out of poverty to a better living condition for individuals and households. Research outputs will include Working Papers, Policy Briefs, Policy Memos, and Articles

Data: Community, regional and national level data on the geography of upward mobility, poverty and inequality around the world.

Interactive Dashboard/Atlas: An interactive dashboard that leverages innovations in geographic information systems (GIS), big data and decision science to develop data-driven “prosperity pathways” out of poverty and low living standards for households and local communities.

Policy Initiatives: Policy initiatives will be developed as the project evolves to ensure that the insights and actionable solutions from the research projects are translated into scalable initiatives and inform better decision-making and policies to improve economic mobility and opportunity in local communities.

Status: Ongoing
