"Power makes itself invisible so we don’t question whether things should be the way they are. This should not be why Kenya is on the map, and if the world was fair, these scholars would be able to operate on the world stage as themselves.” https://t.co/T0nzx8EoKM

🌟NEW CSAE Working Paper 'The Political Economy of Economic Policy Advice' by @gamblingondev.

This paper offers a framework for assessing how to maximise the economic development impact of advice, allowing for the political incentives of those in power.

Important study showing that people in poorer countries are highly willing to get vaccinated, if only vaccines were available to them. We need vaccine equity and justice, not charity and colonialism. @Nature https://t.co/uLMdQeeY2S

It's less than two months to Cop26 and most campaigners from developing countries have heard nothing about how to get jabbed.

Most haven't booked flights and accommodation: many fear they might have to back out of the summit at the very last minute.
