                  The Gender Innovation Lab (GIL) of the World Bank’s
                  Africa Region conducts impact evaluations of women’s
                  economic empowerment interventions in Sub-Saharan
                  Africa. With the results of the impact evaluations,
                  GIL aims to support the design of innovative, scalable
                  interventions to address gender inequality in
                  productive economic sectors across Africa. Through its
                  capacity building program, GIL leads a Junior
                  Fellowship Program for promising young economists and
                  other social science researchers from Sub-Saharan
                  Africa. The program is designed to serve as a stepping
                  stone for junior researchers to make the transition
                  from research assistants to lead investigators.
                  Candidates who intend to apply for a doctoral program
                  in a relevant discipline, as well as recent PhD
