To date, USI has allocated over a million dollars in research funding, and have hosted three matchmaking conferences in Sri Lanka, South Africa and Nepal to mobilize new collaborative evaluations between researchers and implementing agences.\u00a0 Mobarak has also mentored three post-docs who are Asian and African nationals.<\/span><\/dd>\n<dt><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"subheading\">\u00a0 Other Appointments:<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"bodytext\">\n<li>\n<div>National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), Cambridge, MA, USA<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nber.org\/people\/ahmed_mobarak\">Faculty Research Fellow<\/a>, Development Economics Program<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"bodytext\">\n<li>\n<div>World Bank, Development Impact Evaluation Initiative (Washington D.C., USA)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldbank.org\/dime\">Consultant<\/a>, Agricultural Adaptations (AAdapt) Program<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>\u00a0Center for Economic Policy Research (London School of Economics, UK)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cepr.org\/researchers\/details\/rschcontact.asp?IDENT=164469\"> Affiliated Researcher<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Poverty Action Lab \u2013 JPAL (MIT, Cambridge, USA)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.povertyactionlab.org\/mobarak\">Affiliated Researcher<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Poverty Action Lab \u2013 JPAL (MIT, Cambridge, USA)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/jackson.yale.edu\/mobarak\">Affiliated Faculty<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Director, Graduate Certificate in Development Studies<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>IZA &#8211; University of Bonn (Germany)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.iza.org\/en\/webcontent\/personnel\/photos\/index_html?key=9038\"> Research Fellow<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Yale Climate and Energy Institute<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div>Former Member, Executive Committee<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/climate.yale.edu\/developing-and-marketing-improved-cook-stoves-rural-bangladesh\"> Funded Project<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Yale Global Health Initiative<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/ghi.yale.edu\/faculty\/detail\/ahmed_mobarak\">Member<\/a>, Executive Committee<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Innovations for Poverty Action \u2013 IPA (New Haven, USA)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.poverty-action.org\/about\/researchers\/affiliates\">Affiliated Researcher<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Yale Economic Growth Center<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.econ.yale.edu\/%7Eegcenter\/people\/faculty.html\">Affiliated Faculty<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Yale South Asian Studies Program<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yale.edu\/macmillan\/southasia\/people.htm\">Council Member<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Yale Middle East Studies Program<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yale.edu\/macmillan\/cmes\/faculty.htm\">Council Member<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Association for Economic Development Studies on Bangladesh &#8211; AEDSB<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aedsb.org\/\">Assistant General Secretary and Organizer of Annual ASSA Session<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Yale World Fellows Program<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yale.edu\/worldfellows\/about.html\">Selection Committee Member and Lecturer<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>Ideas for India<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ideasforindia.in\/profile.aspx?id=29\">Contributor<\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \u00a0 Appointments: International Growth Center (LSE and Oxford University, U.K.) Lead Academic, Bangladesh Research Programme IGC country teams work closely with national researchers, the private sector, civil society organisations and other stakeholders to ensure their work meets the needs of the country.
