"Before the pandemic hit, global poverty rates had plummeted over four decades. However, in 2020, nearly 100 million people were pushed back into extreme poverty, defined as living on less than $1.90 per day."

"The evidence-based policy movement, which accelerated after the Great Recession of 2008, allows states to derive tangible benefits from limited resources by ensuring programs are scientifically validated before implementation."
"This approach contrasts with the traditional methods of implementing social programs based on 'good intentions' or political influences, prioritizing evidence of effectiveness in addressing poverty."
