I am making this blog to streamline all my thoughts - external influences from school texts, the media, philosophers, co-workers and from my own mind. I have the ultimate intention of better understanding "What do people value and why?" however, along the way I hope to incorporate other ideas - best practices within the development world (my Masters degree), the politics of understanding which programs work and do not, and most importantly, expanding the dialogue of how to use quantitative data (or quantifying qualitative data) for credible and reliable evidence.
Organizational culture is averse to scientific policymaking. Own it.
I believe in:
- Formal impact evaluations
- Focusing on the right set of statistical indicators
- Methodological foundations
- Investing in women
Applying my work to development
- Labor problems exist throughout the world
- Revamping certifications, education policies
- The need to know the impact of programs and how to improve them
