In-Person - Behavioural Science at the Last Mile of Aid - Oxford
@50 Market St Oxford
As aid budgets tighten and pressure to demonstrate impact grows, improving the “last mile” of delivery is more important than ever. Life-saving vaccines are on the site, but children don’t get vaccinated; insecticide treated nets reach a household, but families don’t always sleep under them; cheap contraceptives are available in shops; but young people at risk don’t get them. This panel will explore how behavioural science can help address barriers to uptake, and how rigorous evidence can guide decisions about which interventions to test and scale in low-resource settings to achieve impact on the ground.
The discussion will be especially relevant to those focused on international development and interested in how scarce resources can achieve greater impact through stronger evidence, better implementation, and more effective partnerships; Donors, Philanthropic funders and foundations, International NGOs, ?Government officials and policy actors.
