On this episode of Mathematica’s On the Evidence podcast, guests from USAID, the International Rescue Committee, and Mathematica discuss a yearslong effort to turn findings from past studies into useful insights for addressing crime and violence in Northern Central America. The guests for this episode are Juan Carlos Rodríguez, Katie Appel, Melissa Chiappetta, and Emilie Bagby. Rodríguez and Appel are the director and deputy director, respectively, for USAID's Research in Education for Transformative Opportunities (RETO) initiative, which provides tailored evidence to decision makers in governmental and non-governmental institutions, such as local ministries of education. The initiative seeks to help those education leaders implement effective programs and policies in Northern Central America that will reduce local violence and crime.
