Sinafikeh Gemessa
Welcome to my website!
I am an Economist (Extended Term Consultant) at the World Bank in the Equity Policy Lab (EPL) of the Global Poverty and Equity Unit.
I pursue research and analytics with applications to welfare implications of public policies and investments including on fiscal policies and climate change related actions of low and middle-income countries. Previously, I served as an Economist in the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) where I co-led impact assessments of IFAD-supported projects in Bolivia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan among others.
I have also worked as a short-term consultant for the World Bank in various units and as a senior research assistant for the International Food Policy Research Institute. I hold a PhD in Applied Economics from the University of Minnesota and a Master of Public Administration in International Development from Harvard Kennedy School.
