🚨 New publication!
gui2de affiliates and @McCourtSchool faculty @JacobusCilliers and James Habyarimana have a new paper out in the Journal of Development Economics showing how a small, low-cost tweak turned a national education program in Tanzania from one that failed to improve learning into one that succeeded.
Read and paper sciencedirect.com/science/ar… and the authors' @cgdev blog post cgdev.org/blog/24000-text-me….
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.

This funding will enable us to adapt, experiment, and scale STARS, a pay-for-performance teacher contract that rewards teachers in an effort to improve recruitment, motivation, retention, and learning outcomes.
STARS is implemented under the guidance of @AndrewZeitlin of @McCourtSchool, @OwenOzier of @WilliamsCollege, Clare Leaver of @UniofOxford, and Pieter Serneels of @uniofeastanglia. Read more about the research and program here: bit.ly/STARSproject

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.
