VoxDev Talks from Talk Normal Productions

About This Project

Summary

VoxDev Talks is a weekly podcast from VoxDev.org, the development economics platform run by CEPR with the International Growth Centre. Each week Tim Phillips interviews a leading expert to ask, in one aspect of development, what does the evidence say, and what should we do? Topics include schooling, health, jobs, pollution, and aid. It puts research that would otherwise sit in journals into the hands of people making decisions in low-income countries. Free, in plain language, on any phone.

Goals & Objectives

To make the best evidence on reducing poverty in developing countries useful for the people who need it: civil servants, NGOs, donors, students and researchers. We speak to them in language a non-economist can follow, to give a global audience the tools to make life-changing policy decisions.

Results & Impact

336,000 listens across more than 100 countries, most in Global South. Listens up 36% in the past 12 months. "An amazing resource on how to make the greatest difference with the limited resources we have,” Dan Rogger, World Bank. "Unique and accessible," Pamela Gongora, Inter-American Devt Bank
