Appreciating the debate around #effectivealtruism and the role of rigorous evidence in expanding the set of high-impact investment options, at least in the #globalhealth and #globaldev space. Adding some thoughts to the conversation here. @CEGA_UC
Effective Altruism asks: how can we do the most good possible? But how can we do the most if we don't know what works? CEGA Executive Director @carsonamelia7 explains why EA & groups like @GiveWell should spend more on generating evidence of impact. https://t.co/jpKgJXFqZL

In Togo, the "traditional" data indeed looks a lot different from the data sourced from new approaches @jblumenstock emphasizes this isn't a substitute for existing social protection approaches—rather, a "second safety net" for those who would otherwise be excluded
