I am shocked to hear of Nic van de Walle’s passing. He was an extraordinary scholar and mentor, and taught so many of us through his hugely important and insightful research. My heart goes out to his family.
Thank you, Johannes! @BusaraCenter is an extraordinary institution with amazing, dedicated staff doing superb work on important questions. We are all grateful for your entrepreneurship and vision in getting it started!
It's been 11 years since I founded @BusaraCenter, and it's time to say goodbye! I want to focus on @malengo, and I also think governance change is healthy. So I'll step down as Scientific Director in 2024. Here are some memories, and a call to nominate yourself as my replacement!

The Foreign Press Association, Africa is disturbed by the unfortunate opinions that our Western colleagues continue to publicly express about the distinction they see between war and suffering in Ukraine🇺🇦 and those that have taken place in poor countries. #FairCoverage

It's #TBT - @jandrewharris & @DanielNPosner look at Kenya's Constituency Development Fund to ask, "Under what conditions do politicians reward their supporters?" #APSR #polisciresearch
