Matteo Santangelo Ravà
I’m a behavioral development economist with ten years of experience in public policy research and evaluation across both high- and low-income settings. My work focuses on education, health, and child protection, with a particular emphasis on Early Childhood Development (ECD) and behavioral science.
I currently work at the Queen Rania Foundation and am pursuing a Ph.D. in Economics at Aix Marseille School of Economics, where my research explores how behavioral insights can strengthen caregiver engagement and early learning outcomes.
I am a former ODI fellow. I have served for 3 years at the Ministry of Health of Zanzibar as a Health Economist. I have extensive field experience, having led research and program implementation in Zanzibar, Côte d’Ivoire, Jordan, and the Philippines, and spent four years living overseas.
