COVID-19 has led to a global learning crisis, touching off an intense debate on school reopening.

Here's a short 🧵on the possible steps that can be taken to reduce the learning loss that young children have endured during the pandemic #InternationalLiteracyDay

@DanaSchmidt33 Yup, I feel this 💯. I try to address the tension by thinking of us (grantee, funder) as a team and we’re both responsible for advising the board. The more our partners-on-the-ground can bring us into the conversation, the better advocates we can be in the funder boardroom.

Threats and opportunities in taking promising results to scale: why isn’t going from 64 kids in Jamaica to 67,000 kids in Peru like https://t.co/qisTCIRTfL? I look at a new paper by @caridadaraujo & co-authors and contrast with some of my own efforts https://t.co/KJNwV2kuJn

Really important. Edtech can sometimes exacerbate education inequality. How can we make edtech work to enable learning for *all*?

Climate change threatens to lead to a resurgence of malaria. Climate crises like cyclones and floods not only destroy health system infrastructure, they create breeding grounds for mosquitoes that carry malaria. More climate crises will mean more malaria in affected areas.

“I want to protect my soil from erosion, that’s why I have planted trees as the sustainable solution to my soil protection,” says Agnes, one of our clients in Rwanda’s Western Province.

Her farm is on a slope, so she terraced her land to stop soil erosion and water loss.

Rapid industrial growth has helped reduce poverty in China and India, but it has also led to increased industrial pollution. Research in Gujarat, India explores how reforms to third-party audit systems can help reduce pollution. https://t.co/8QCwVKxhb7
