Global Impact Collaboratory

Practitioners & @ASU social scientists together creating better ways to monitor the impacts of international development on people & communities.

[Global Impact Collaboratory @GIC_MEL]

The GIC blogs on how measuring cultural norms in #globaldev can lead to stronger #evaluation - and ultimately better outcomes. Peggy Ochandarena @Chemonics @brewis_alex & @RosaNMoza. Check it out here: https://t.co/Zedn11a6IV - and we'd love to talk more about it!

#stigma shapes health behavior and health outcomes in ways that is often neglected - due in no small part to the fact that measurement of stigma and attribution is hard. Well done methodological innovators @brewis_alex & @AWutich #globalhealth #internationaldevelopment

[School of Human Evolution and Social Change @ASUBeingHuman]

.@brewis_alex and @AWutich explore stigma and the unintended consequences of #globalhealth programs in their new book. Learn more in The State Press: https://t.co/ZZzCtYYjRu

We at the GIC are excited to join our ASU colleagues and development partners tonight, to celebrate the year and our innovations in applying and assessing rigorous, culturally-responsive methods to evaluation. @ASUBeingHuman #SIDWDinner

[ASU International Development Initiative @ASU_IntlDev]

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight at the @sidwashington #SIDWDinner honoring @PaulPolman, former CEO of @Unilever and Co-founder/Chair of Imagine. @ASU will have representation from @McCainInstitute @Thunderbird and @ASUCollegeOfLaw. If you see us, come say hi!

[Global Impact Collaboratory @GIC_MEL]

One of the many ways we at the GIC draw on methodological excellence at ASU; once again ranked #1 by NSF for research expenditures in anthropology! We are embedded in @ASUBeingHuman, training home for future anthropologists. @ASU_IntlDev

[School of Human Evolution and Social Change @ASUBeingHuman]

ASU is #1 in the U.S. for anthropology research expenditures. Third 👏 straight 👏 year! @NSF #excellence #research https://t.co/c1NWqFeluM

Establishing methodological rigor -- including rationale for choosing which method to use -- is important in all fields! Great work @RosaNMoza @brewis_alex @AWutich @cindilsturtz @Chemonics Peggy Ochandarena, Christelle Safi, and more! #eval19 @ASU_IntlDev

[Roseanne Schuster @RosaNMoza]

Nothing like returning to the office after #eval19 excited to turn presentation into publication. Evaluators are hungry for guidance on when to interviews or focus groups in international development. @AWutich @brewis_alex @ASU_IntlDev

@GIC_MEL collaborators @brewis_alex @DanielHruschka innovating in #measurement of wealth, poverty and how it affects #mentalhealth wellbeing.

[Alex Brewis (Slade) @brewis_alex]

Measuring material poverty meaningfully is tricky: water insecurity is one way. Here is another suggestion - agricultural assets - from our recent work in 3 communities Haiti. @asu_cgh @bonnienkaiser Read open access: https://t.co/86Rsl9p4ZL

[Global Impact Collaboratory @GIC_MEL]

Agreed! Having strong qualitative methodologists on your team is more than an asset but critical to success @AWutich @russbernard @brewis_alex @hagaman @Doctora_Fox

[Agnes Quisumbing @agnesquis]

What researchers ask and what's meaningful to respondents are often very different. That's why cognitive interviewing helps! @HMalapit @heckertjessica1

@AWutich @DrRuth_Alissa @mhberesford @ErnestoWolfson @RosaNMoza @siianadela @MissCM01 @drdu_bray @JASIVRAS @Prof_CarlosGQ @asher_rosinger @meehanmonster @ProfessorJepson @DCDC_ASU .... and so so many more, at all career stages. This week 35 fab @ASU_CGH undergrads joined as our newest Global Ethnohydrology team members (researching water and social stigmas).

[Alex Brewis (Slade) @brewis_alex]

It’s here: 1st in a forthcoming set of @HWISE_RCN @ASU_CGH empirical papers laying out when/how household food insecurity might be ultimately driven by water insecurity: important basics for designing development projects that work @ASU_IntlDev https://t.co/wr1cAcM9ew

[Global Impact Collaboratory @GIC_MEL]

Exciting and impactful application of less-used social science methods; important in #programdesign and #evaluation @Doctora_Fox

[Elizabeth Fox @Doctora_Fox]

Our paper looks how how mothers' perceptions & prioritizations of #infantfeeding messages changes with experience and exposure to interventions using #cognitivemapping and #implementationresearch to improve #patientcenteredcare: https://t.co/D7UdnCeuZK

Thanks to @MissCM01, our lab just started testing auto-transcription (on pilot open-ended interview data), using https://t.co/XF2W3G8dc9. Holds promise to speed workflow, with necessary editing and very careful checking. @AWutich @cindilsturtz

[Global Impact Collaboratory @GIC_MEL]

We enjoyed the conversation at the launch of the @HWISE_RCN cross-culturally validated #waterinsecurity scale and indicator. @AWutich @ProfessorJepson @justinstoler @brewis_alex @RosaNMoza @ASU_IntlDev

[HWISE RCN @HWISE_RCN]

.@AWutich discusses why water insecurity at the household level is important to sectors concerned with water at our #aaas HWISE-RCN launch #HWISE 💧

Love this: evidence that writing less, avoiding acronyms, using punctuation, and first person helps increase citations https://t.co/Nf8ARoxEWQ

[Global Impact Collaboratory @GIC_MEL]

Today @GIC_MEL presented at USAID DC headquarters on how anthropological approaches can improve development practice. Lovely crowd, enthusiastic response, made us happy. @RosaNMoza @Chemonics @ASU_IntlDev @ASU_CGH @AWutich
