¡Cerrando una semana transformadora en Santiago! Concluyen las defensas de propuestas en los #EGAPLearningDays 2026. Felicitaciones a los participantes seleccionados, se van con diseños metodológicos listos y una red regional fortalecida. 🇨🇱🎓

Ningún experimento es útil sin rigor ético y metodológico. Hoy entramos en la etapa más crítica del taller #EGAPLearningDays en Santiago: identificar amenazas al diseño y calcular el poder estadístico. Cuidar estos detalles es lo que diferencia una intuición de un hallazgo científico verificable.

Less abstraction, more practice. Today at the EGAP workshop in Santiago, methodology came alive through an interactive, real-time experiment. Moving from paper randomization to managing and cleaning datasets in R is where real learning happens.

Hoy en el taller Learning Days de EGAP LatAm en Santiago, la metodología cobró vida a través de un experimento interactivo en tiempo real. Pasar de la aleatorización en papel a la gestión y limpieza de bases de datos en R es donde ocurre el verdadero aprendizaje.

Iniciamos el taller #EGAPLearningDays 2026 de nuestro Hub Regional en América Latina. Gracias a nuestro anfitrión Luis Maldonado y al equipo de @UCSociologia en la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.

Today we hosted a productive feedback session for the project, "Can Women’s Collective Political Participation Interrupt Local Conflict?" from EGAPers @matanock.bsky.social & @kkosec.bsky.social.

C’est notre dernier jour des #LearningDays à Abidjan ! La semaine a été bien remplie : les participants ont conçu des expériences, les ont testées entre eux, analysé les données recueillies et rédigé des rapports sur leurs résultats.

It’s our final day of #LearningDays in Abidjan. It has been a busy week! Participants partnered up to develop experiments and run them on fellow attendees, then analyzed the data and wrote reports on their findings.

Today we hosted a great feedback session for Sarah Khan & @sumitra.bsky.social's project, "The Social Cost of Truth: Gender and Misinformation in South Asia."

That's a wrap on #EGAP31 🎉 Thank you to everyone who joined us @dukesanford.bsky.social for deep discussions and constructive feedback. We hope you will be leaving with new insights, deeper connections, and fresh perspectives!

We dug into six more innovative #experimentalresearch projects today, then concluded with a final plenary exploring the results & lessons from the #MetaketaV Study of Women’s Political Participation.

…and we are back for day two of #EGAP31! We are excited to continue critical conversations about #experimentalresearch on innovative evidence based policy in the area of #climategovernance and beyond 🌎️

Today we heard about many exciting projects on topics ranging from tropical forest conservation & labour markets evidence in Sierra Leone to a randomized field experiment in Himchal Pradesh looking at reforestation led by women's groups... and then, a walk through Duke's beautiful green campus! 🍃

Great conversations at #EGAP31 as participants get to know one another by discussing research collaborations and the pressing questions in governance and politics... all while enjoying some sunshine 🌞

We are here at Day One of #EGAP31 @dukesanford.bsky.social! We are looking forward to two full days of connecting and learning through deep discussion on #experimentalresearch with a focus on #climategovernance.

We had an insightful afternoon reflecting on what EGAP-style interventions have taught us, and where we go from here in the current development landscape!

EGAP members, partners & friends are gathering at @dukesanford.bsky.social today for an exciting event in advance of our member meeting. We will hear insights from our expert panelists as they reflect on the future of development research and practice across regions.

Another feedback session for a #LearningDays alumni & EGAP grant recipient today! Thank you to all who joined for Plangnan Joseph Damshakal's project, "Eco-violence and policy solutions: effectiveness of the national livestock transformation programme in Plateau State, Nigeria."

Today we held a feedback session for #LearningDays alumni & EGAP grant recipient, Waliyat Olaide Oloyede on their experimental project looking at the effect of the nutritional information on the diets of rural households in Nigeria. Thank you to everyone who took part!

This week, hear from @aalrababah.bsky.social & Jeremy Weinstein as they discuss their study on citizen attitudes towards migration of Syrian refugees to Jordan. buff.ly/hvNXhBH
