Claire Cullen

Hi! I am the Head of Research and Innovation at Youth Impact, a Botswana-headquartered organisation committed to scaling up evidence-based programs to youth. I am also a PI at Oxford University's What Works Hub for Global Education. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Development Economics at the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government and Centre for the Study of African Economies. I was also a consultant at the World Bank's Africa Gender Innovation Lab and am an affiliate of Oxford’s Mind and Behaviour Research Group.

My work is in development economics, with research projects on education, health, and gender in Afghanistan, Botswana, Ethiopia, Nepal, Uganda, India, Kenya, the Philippines, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria. 

Previously, I was an economist at the Australian Agency for International Development and a research assistant at Innovations for Poverty Action and UNICEF.
