Nayyira Elgohary

Nayyira ElGohary is a Research Associate at J-PAL Middle East and North Africa where she works on evaluating the impact of providing a nursing training program to young women in southern Egypt. This investigates both the direct effects on treated applicants and the indirect effect on their social network, with regards to labor market outcomes, social change, and intra-household decision-making. She’s also working on evaluating the impact of providing tailored information to farmers on how climate change is affecting agriculture. This project explores what the best strategies to help farmers adapt to climate change are, with the objective to increase farmers’ welfare, preventing them from falling further into poverty.

Prior to joining J-PAL in 2023, she served as a Student Research Fellow at the Centre for Online and Distance Education, University of London.

Nayyira holds a BSc in Economics and Management from the London School of Economics, University of London.
