Lucy Scott

Lucy's interests include policy and programme approaches to reduce extreme and chronic poverty, how poverty reduction can be incorporated into climate change responses and mixed methods approaches to monitoring and evaluation.

Lucy is also an External Associate of the Brooks World Poverty Institute at the University of Manchester where she completed her PhD. This investigated the processes resulting from the implementation of a large-scale asset transfer programme in north-west Bangladesh with the mandate to reduce extreme poverty. She has worked as a long-term consultant in a range of contexts including for the World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER), the Chronic Poverty Research Centre at ODI, and on the Chars Livelihoods Programme in Bangladesh. Lucy has a background in geography and environmental science.
