#ModalitiesMatter!
Keep thinking about this finding from @a_peterman et al's meta-review:
- larger effects for ♀️ from unconditional CTs, asset transfers & social care services
*as compared to*
- food, vouchers / in-kind transfers, & conditional CTs

@TanjaDHendriks There are certainly lots of shiny and well-intentioned policies, plans & strategies in Malawi. Including many that are relevant but aren't mentioned in the article. Begs the question: what are the key constraints to progress? It's not just about amount of domestic/foreign $$...

Q What key challenges do you face: In fragile & conflict situations we face complex layers of “shared sovereignty”. Locals have less say. The international community has a bigger say. Conflicting values of localization v shared sovereignty can undermine capacity!

Great talk @oxmartinschool by Patrick Vallance, UK Chief Scientist 2018-2023. This slide credited with persuading PM Boris Johnson on climate change. Important lesson for academics: no #policyinfluence without good communication (previously reported here https://t.co/7AM10u1m01)

A reminder to apply for STAAR support by 29th January. This is a great opportunity to receive technical assistance / support on gender and social protection, and on social protection in crises contexts.

@scepticalranil @rodrikdani @kopalo @gamblingondev @economeager @angrist_noam Enjoyed links, thanks
On implementation: ICYMI, some recent (open access) work on politics of implementation in social protection by @LaversTom: https://t.co/CjwSasKgyS
On IFIs incorporating political economy into programming in @kopalo blog: is it different in social policy🤔?

@spignal I'm still waiting for helmets to be normalised in surfing. I'm an anomaly in the water, but I'm normal on the slopes.

[Rebecca Holmes @Rebecca1HG]

Send in your Technical Assistance requests to the STAAR Facility for support on gender and social protection, or social protection in crisis settings. This call will close on January 29th 2024. Please share widely!

"So I’m not asking for your action, I’m asking for your attention. I’m asking you to stop acting like climate change is a joke.
To stop ridiculing us for caring about it.
And when you’re old enough, I want you to consider it when you vote."

@scepticalranil 100% agree. Which leads me to think - are there any bilaterals that do this well? My experience has been that it's easier to pull this off in a multilateral - which is 1-2 steps removed from domestic politics - than a bilateral.

[Ranil Dissanayake @scepticalranil]

But implementing this kind of ambitious approach to partnerships requires change in how embassies and the country network operate, and investment in their capabilities and the kind of tools they have at their disposal, as well as their flexibility of action.

@martaforesti @CeciliaCostella - thought you and Anna McCord might find this debate interesting.

[Edward Archibald @EdArchibald_]

@sophiemaynard Yes please!

[Edward Archibald @EdArchibald_]

@_HannahRitchie This research is interesting and might have some other links to follow up: "experienced climate threats can enhance willingness-to-act but largely in places where voters are known to believe in climate change." https://t.co/ohcSxL4uoJ

@robertofner @_HannahRitchie @robertofner , I'm very sympathetic to the need for more climate action, but just fyi that map shows highly unpopulated areas of Australia - virtually no-one living there relative to eastern seaboard.
