Behaviour and Design Lab (BaD Lab)

Overview

The IEU’s Behaviour and Design Lab (BaD Lab) assesses how behavioural insights, analysis and interventions can improve GCF investments by identifying common barriers to action and highlighting best practice in developing country contexts at the same time as leveraging international expertise. 

Recognizing that the supply of investments is not sufficient, the IEU’s BaD Lab focuses on the gap between the provision of resources and services on one hand and the action of individuals on the other, such as the adoption of new practices and ways of making a living, utilization of information and new technologies, using new financial products, and interactions between stakeholders within complex interventions.  

Started in 2019, the IEU’s BaD Lab furthers the IEU’s mandate to be a leader in the field of evaluation and to support GCF as a learning institution that is guided by monitoring and evaluation processes.
