Opportunity conducts and supports research across the countries we work, strengthening programs and partners, identifying effective client pathways out of poverty, and testing innovations. The Opportunity Knowledge Exchange shares research from across the Opportunity network, helping Opportunity answer questions like, “How do we know that Opportunity’s work is impactful?” and “How can Opportunity better engage women as clients?”.
