First prize — Lindsey CARSON, Joanna V. NORONHA & Michael J. TREBILCOCK Volume 6 Number 2 Held Back: Explaining the Sluggish Pace of Improvement to Basic Education in Developing Democracies–The Cases of India and Brazil Lindsey Carson is an Adjunct Lecturer at The Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), John Hopkins University in Washington, DC. Joanna Vieira Noronha is a SJD Candidate, at the Harvard Law School, Harvard University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Michael J. Trebilcock is Professor of Law and Economics at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, Canada. The opinion of one of the judges was that: The in-depth analysis of both the Indian and Brazil cases demonstrated a deep understanding of the historical and present day context of education in both countries, and more important, the importance of context for understanding education outcomes. The comparative analysis enabled important policy lessons to be drawn. Award: US$1000 Second prize (runner up) — Nuzha ALLASSAD ALHUZAIL Volume 6 Number 1 On a New Path: Microfinance as a Tool to Help Bedouin Women Extricate Themselves from Poverty in Israel Dr. Nuzha Allassad Alhuzail is a social worker and the director of the SAWA microfinance program established by the Koret Foundation in Israel. She is a lecturer in the School of Social Work at Sapir Academic College. Her research deals with the implications of social change for the lives of three generations of Bedouin women. One of our judges said in regard to the article: The author demonstrates a deep understanding of Bedouin women in Israel, and provides a compelling portrait of their lives. The empirical material reveals the rapport if not intimacy of the author with her respondents, and how this allows for deep insight into the impacts of micro-finance programs. The empirical material is not left to speak for itself, but rather the author uses this material to show the basis of her analysis. Award: US$500 JPAID Prize for Early Career Researchers Winner — Johan SANDBERG Volume 6 Number 2 Evidence-based Policymaking? Revisiting the ¡°Known,¡± the Assumed and the Promoted in New Social Development Policy Dr. Johan Sandberg is a Visiting Research Fellow at the Center for Migration and Development (CMD), Princeton University in the United States.

Award: US$500 Our editorial broad members and the team at JPAID warmly congratulate our winners. We wish them all the best for their future research. We would also like to sincerely thank all of the authors who contributed to JPAID in 2015. The quality of articles was extremely high, and selecting prize winners from such a strong field was a very difficult task for our judges. |
