Nidhi Parekh
I am a development economist and practitioner in the making. I try to understand and change how the world works using data and policy. What do I work on? Social welfare, digital innovation, and poverty eradication.
Currently I am the Project Director of the Digital Identification and Finance Initiative in Africa (DigiFI) - J-PAL Africa’s first research initiative. I work with governments, academics, NGOs and private companies to use rigorous research to understand and inform how innovations in digital ID and payment systems policy affect people.
