[UN BeSci Week] An Introduction to BeSci - Enhancing Programmes & Reducing Administrative Burden

Many UN colleagues are at the start of their behavioural science journey and would like to know more about what behavioural science is and how it is applied. This introductory session explores key behavioural science concepts and how BeSci can be applied to the work of the UN, including in policy and programming and to the reduction of administrative burden. It includes an interactive presentation from Renos Vakis, the Lead Economist in the World Bank's behavioural sciences team (eMBeD) and discussion of case studies from the UN system.
