ARCED Foundation — Bangladeshi Brick Kilns Governance RCT

Visit Grantee Site
  • Focus Area: South Asian Air Quality
  • Organization Name: ARCED Foundation
  • Amount: $281,000

  • Award Date: March 2023

Table of Contents

    Open Philanthropy recommended a contract of $281,000 over two years with Aureolin Research, Consultancy, and Expertise (ARCED) Foundation to support its work on a randomized controlled trial in Bangladesh to evaluate governance interventions intended to reduce the health impacts of brick kilns, which are a major source of air pollution in Bangladesh and across South Asia.

    The intervention is to develop and assist in implementing an eGovernance tool. The trial will test whether the tool improves adherence to environmental regulation and how it affects the development of less harmful alternatives to traditional bricks.

    This falls within our focus area of South Asian air quality.

    This project was supported through a contractor agreement. While we typically do not publish pages for contractor agreements, we occasionally opt to do so.
