While it has been more than a decade since behavioral experiments are conducted on the field in developing countries, it is usually very difficult to find established facilities for this kind of research. This is why the BUSARA CENTER FOR BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS is a very welcomed contribution.
The Center is a state-of-the-art facility for experimental studies in behavioral economics located right outside the Kibera slums in Nairobi. They have a pool of participants from the area, that are recruited via SMS and then receive the payments using MPesa (then dismissing the problem of lack of credibly in the experimenter).
Busara seems to be very open to receive researchers interested in using their facilities, and the contact with them can be via email or even facebook.
