While grappling with these questions and scrolling mindlessly through Econ Twitter, I came across the Robert S. McNamara Fellowships Program, almost by accident. As I would discover in the months to come, it was a happy accident. The premise—fellows are matched to researchers in either the Development Research Group (DECRG) or the Development Impact Group (DIME) and work with them on active projects—was very engaging. Indeed, for somebody who intends to pursue a PhD in economics, such an experience is valuable because it teaches you not just what research is but also whether you like it. My time in the fellowship was both wonderful and unique. I was initially recruited for the DE JURE program in DIME’s Governance Unit, on a project focused on determining the effect of improvements in access to justice in Kenya.

I do not pretend to answer that question, but it is worth noting that economics is not commonly associated with the realm of science. Surprising as it may seem, economists are, in fact, social scientists. This role can be challenging to comprehend, particularly in many developing countries where the research work in economics is not emphasized as a successful professional path. This misconception belongs to the prevailing paradigm in the development countries. The Robert McNamara Fellowship is an effort to disrupt that paradigm. Matching potential researchers in economics from developing countries with researchers in the World Bank’s Development Impact Evaluation (DIME) and Development Research Group departments means to generate more opportunities for diversifying research groups and reducing the concentration of research activities. For individuals who have not yet embarked on a doctoral program but possess a strong desire to explore and answer questions, the fellowship program offers a valuable opportunity
