Opportunities and challenges in using research to influence policy on childhood poverty in low- and middle-income countries
An inter-disciplinary, mixed-methods, longitudinal study across four low- and middle-income countries, Young Lives was designed with the objective of reducing childhood poverty. This has meant developing an explicit theory of change and ensuring that the research dissemination strategy and governance and partnership structures are geared towards maximising impact. But the theoretical, conceptual, and practical challenges are many, as this talk highlights.
