Round 3 of EPoD’s RFP on Saudi Arabian Labor Market and Social Development Research

Evidence for Policy Design (EPoD) at Harvard Kennedy School, with the support of the Human Resource Development Fund of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (HRDF) and the Ministry of Labor and Social Development (MLSD), will fund a new set of empirical studies of labor market and social development issues in Saudi Arabia. EPoD is now calling for proposals from researchers for both pilot studies and full research projects.

For this initiative, EPoD will fund rigorous empirical research that seeks to improve labor market and social development outcomes in Saudi Arabia based on key strategic objectives identified in the National Transformation Program for the MLSD. Research can also focus on building a better bridge between economic theory and the Saudi context, though it is important that research outputs are relevant to labor or social development policy in Saudi Arabia.
