International Research and Analysis on Social and Economic Policy

RAND brings decades of experience conducting both large- and small-scale evaluations and related research studies across the globe, including studies in fragile and conflict-affected regions. Our research spans a wide range of disciplines, from economic and social policy to public health and security. Much of this work focuses on emerging challenges facing regions, governments, and nongovernmental organization (NGOs); such challenges include arresting the spread of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa, fostering public health collaboration in Southeast Asia, supporting investments in resilience for energy and flood management systems, and anticipating future security requirements of the government in Afghanistan.
