Influencing social welfare allocation through data: A randomised controlled trial

Project Active from 1 Feb 2025 to 25 Sep 2026 State Effectiveness

This project aims to improve Bangladesh's social welfare budget allocation by promoting data-driven decision-making to address misallocation issues. Subdistricts will use a data-driven dashboard depicting the needs and allocations of social welfare programs, and the study will evaluate the dashboard's impact on equitable fund distribution.
