Great to see Busia and #devecon in the spotlight!
A new episode of Planet Money chronicles the role of Busia, Kenya in the rise of impact evaluations in #devecon — and cites research by @tedmiguel in its discussion of the field’s “credibility revolution.”npr.org/2023/06/09/118144883…

Appreciating the debate around #effectivealtruism and the role of rigorous evidence in expanding the set of high-impact investment options, at least in the #globalhealth and #globaldev space. Adding some thoughts to the conversation here. @CEGA_UC
Effective Altruism asks: how can we do the most good possible?
But how can we do the most if we don't know what works?
CEGA Executive Director @carsonamelia7 explains why EA & groups like @GiveWell should spend more on generating evidence of impact.

In Togo, the "traditional" data indeed looks a lot different from the data sourced from new approaches
@jblumenstock emphasizes this isn't a substitute for existing social protection approaches—rather, a "second safety net" for those who would otherwise be excluded
