Research, collaboration, and impact in action

The DLSU Angelo King Institute for Economic and Business Studies (AKI) and the DLSU Center for Business Research and Development successfully co-hosted a Researcher Engagement Session with Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) – Philippines on “Developing Locally-Led Research Partnerships for Policy-Relevant Impact Evaluations.”

The session introduced DLSU faculty members and graduate students to IPA’s research approach, shared insights from impact evaluations in the Philippines, and opened doors for meaningful collaboration on field-based, policy-relevant research.

This engagement marks an important step toward strengthening locally led research partnerships and building a stronger pipeline of evidence-based evaluations that drive real-world impact.

We extend our gratitude to IPA Philippines and to all faculty, researchers, and students who joined and shared their ideas, interests, and passion for impactful research.
