Naureen Karachiwalla

Research Fellow

Naureen Karachiwalla is a Research Fellow at CERP. She is also a Research Fellow in the Poverty, Health, and Nutrition Division (PHND) at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and a non-resident Fellow at the Consortium for Development Policy Research (CDPR). She has worked as an Economist/ODI Fellow at the Ministry of Education in Ghana. Dr Naureen uses experimental and quasi-experimental methods to examine how policy design can improve public service delivery and reduce poverty. She studies the role of incentives in improving the quality of public services provided by bureaucrats through both meritocratic bonus payments and promotions, the design and implementation of social protection programmes in reducing poverty, and the role of public and private investments in human capital, both in education and nutrition. Her other work also studies technology adoption constraints due to poor-quality inputs. She has a PhD and an MSc in Economics from the University of Oxford and has completed her BA Hons from McGill University.
