The Initiative, jointly convened by Georgetown’s Economics Department and the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown, brings together academics, innovators, policymakers, and development practitioners to incubate and evaluate ideas. 

We harness the energy and enthusiasm of Georgetown University’s undergraduate and graduate student body to contribute to these efforts at both the innovation and evaluation stages, through event participation, academic supervision, and summer and semester-long field assignments.
