The Busara Center for Behavioral Economics is a non-profit organisation founded in 2012 by Professor Johannes Haushofer (Princeton University) and operating under the leadership of Dr. JeremyShapiro. Busara has worked with a number of leading universities and research organisations around the world, including the World Bank, IFPRI, MIT, Harvard, UC Berkeley, among others, on projects related to rural development, inequality, civic engagement, financial inclusion and other questions central to development economics.

The consortium of LightBox Limited (LightBox), Busara Center for Behavioral Economics (Busara), and the Advocacy Accelerator (the Accelerator) works together to help form communities of stakeholders and communities of practice who will learn from one another in a mutual, locally owned and sustainable process. The consortium will enable this through storytelling and communication, research and use of evidence in advocacy and development of the linking and learning platform to allow efficient knowledge sharing and linking of partners while at the same time being highly responsive as a resource that supports peer-to-peer learning and addresses the areas of improvement support that will have been identified through the stakeholder mapping.
