Fostering peer learning among local elected representatives

Project Active from to Sustainable Growth

This project, in collaboration with the Government of Bihar, India, aims to organise peer groups for over 2,400 local politicians and experimentally assess their impact. It focuses on whether politicians from marginalised groups benefit more from these networks and explores barriers to their formation.
