The Ford Program in Human Development Studies and Solidarity at the University of Notre Dame is pleased to host the fourth annual Collaborative for Econometrics and Integrated Development Studies (CEIDS) Conference. This year’s theme, “Building Impact Evaluation into NGO Operations,” brings together a multidisciplinary group of scholars and development professionals to present work that bridges the gap between development economics research and real-world implementation in the pursuit of integral human development. The conference will be available for in-person and virtual attendance via livestream on this webpage.

The CEIDS Network is a virtual research community whose mission is to serve as an ongoing global collaborative of development researchers committed to partnering with faith-based global development organizations and supporting their mission and practice.
