Thank you to @RwandaICT for hosting our Executive Director Whitney Tate, faculty affilaite Andrew Zeitlin, and Rwanda Country Director @leo_mfura to discuss opportunities for collaboration in Rwanda.
Valuable exchange today with Prof. Andrew Zeitlin & Whitney Tate from @Georgetown's gui2de on harnessing data and emerging technology for smarter planning, evidence-based decision-making, and policy innovation and evaluation.
Better data. Better policy. Better outcomes.

Tahir Andrabi, @gui2de_GU's Benjamin Daniels, and Professor Jishnu Das surveyed households 4 years after the “great” earthquake in Northern Pakistan, to learn how the earthquake affected families in the long run, after accounting for the effects of aid.

Informal public transit is booming in the developing world but so are accidents. Early work by Georgetown's @gui2de_GU has been influential in use of experiments to test options for making it safer. Thread from @davidfromterra reports on new and promising research results.

Further experiments in how to make informal public transit safer. Encouraging results on public info campaigns.

Join! This is where I argue that the root of all conflict, underdevelopment, and as policy is overcentralized power. How so much aid and diplomacy makes this worse. And why elections is a naive answer.
