Additional Background: Yadama is also keen on understanding ways in which residents in urban communities produce public goods and services that affect their well-being. He is undertaking research in Nepal to understand the factors that explain variations in collective action to supply public goods in resource scarce urban neighborhoods. In understanding these processes, he hopes to meet two goals: 1) advance theoretical understanding of how citizens engage in collective action for the production of essential public goods, and 2) inform how public policy and development aid can be crafted to affect governance and state-citizen collaboration in producing critical public goods.

Yadama serves on the committees of the St. Louis Empowerment Zone Project and United Way of St. Louis.
