"Ultimately, it is a bank led by economists concerned principally with the economic returns to education." This is as inaccurate as saying that all teachers' unions are concerned principally with protecting jobs. Unfair and unhelpful.

I spend a week in Corsica, and come back to discover someone's done my job for me. Great stuff @Fihi_maFihi and @jrossiter0. Now just need to figure out what to do about it all...

[Center for Global Development @CGDev]

Only 11 years left to achieve the many targets under #SDG4, the #SDG focused on #education, and recent reports suggest things are woefully off-track.

If Australian media feels empowered to do this kind of racist hit job on movie stars and royals, imagine how they’re treating people of colour around Oz every other goddam day.

Special double whammy of both Aussie and British racism here

I - and i cannot stress this enough - feel seen.

This is brutal.

Finally read this great piece - so many warning signs I never once saw in Latham. I also feel so lucky that I’ve spent my career being managed by talented, self-aware, considerate women and not the insecure shouty men that populate Latham’s world.

Between this and Alan Jones’ attack on Jacinda Arden, Australia is really leaning into our role as regional bully this week: thuggish, greedy and dumb.

@BenParker140 @markmuriithi @USAID @devex @CGDev @socfinuk @FT @BrookingsInst @WorldBank It’s not an either/or. If this possibly helps with better implementation AND is a way of drawing in other sources of financing for devt/hum purposes (esp when $ doesn’t flow as freely as it might’ve done once), then it’s probably worth trying.

@BenParker140 @markmuriithi @USAID @devex @CGDev @socfinuk @FT @BrookingsInst @WorldBank An outcome model can help free really great implementing orgs to crack on doing what they know they need to, not what micro-managing donors (like me!) fixate on.

[Matt Clancy @mattdclancy]

@BenParker140 @markmuriithi @USAID @devex @CGDev @socfinuk @FT @BrookingsInst @WorldBank Super interesting article, Ben. Re: deferring payment, my donor experience with the education (devt) IB also suggests the model is a recognition that traditional “input” programmes are hamstrung by donor input obsession.
