Thanks @Besinati & colleagues for leading the way to get better at it!
@prof_jameslong@emilybazelon Will be my bedtime reading! Will take off my liberal biased glasses 🥸 and put on the nerd ones 😎 and mainly focus on style of reporting.
We are thankful for the opportunity to share insights on scale and sustainability in social accountability and community-led development gathered from evaluations of our projects.

@prof_jameslong Why do I get all the random "news" from you? I had to Google "who is Brandon?" in disbelief that smth would come up. It did! Right there in NYT!!!
Lots to learn for others in the transparency, accountability & participation field about findings from this research, also about research process itself
For both "it all depends on the very things that we tend to ignore- trust, relationships, and connections"
👏Gunjan & team!!
We look forward to talking with @devex and other orgs about how community-led efforts are critical to inclusive food and market systems. Be sure to tune in on 10/15 at 9 a.m. ET! #WorldFoodDay

In 2020 20,000 people killed by gun violence and an additional 24,000 by suicide by gun. In 2021 there have already been 10,318 deaths due to gun violence. @cnn so cover this! America is so strange in what we care about (condo in Florida) but not these others.
