A Y-RISE research site in Bangladesh, for a study focused on sanitation subsidies
As the pace of globalization and innovation has accelerated, the need for more robust global engagement, new partnerships, and leadership to address collective global challenges has become increasingly urgent.

The increased use of video conferencing, the hiring of several new senior faculty who work in this region, the recent affiliation of the Inclusion Economics at Yale initiative, and the launch of the Yale Research Initiative on Innovation and Scale (Y-RISE), combine to present us with new opportunities to amplify Yale’s South Asia network and its impact.
