Kremer’s research shows that while some aid programs deliver exceptional value for money, others are falling short of their potential. He also works on developing economic tools for incentivizing more private investments in products and services with high social value, such as climate and medicine. Given limited resources and large funding cuts globally, focusing on what works is more important than ever. What can Norway learn from Kremer's research and experience? 

The seminar is organized in collaboration by Norad, Langsikt, Tankesmien Agenda and Civita. 

Coffee and registration is open from 08:00. The program starts at 08:30, with a lecture and Q&A. The program ends around 09:45.
