Pamela joined the IFS in 2016 and works in the Centre for the Evaluation of Development Policies (EDePo). Her current work includes evaluating stimulation and nutrition programmes as well as the implementation of a quality pre-school intervention, primarily randomized field experiments, aimed at improving early childhood development in India.
