about me

My name is Niklas Buehren and I am an applied Microeconomist, with interests in agriculture, public works and adolescent empowerment. I am currently a Senior Economist at the World Bank’s Africa Gender Innovation Lab housed by the region's Office of the Chief Economist. My work focuses on impact evaluations of programs that economically empower women in sectors like agriculture, entrepreneurship, and adolescent development. I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from University College London. My previous experience includes consulting for BRAC in Uganda and South Sudan.
