the global health literature has a default preference for uniform/standardised methods, metrics, indicators, measures, around the world
but the value of uniformity vs non-uniformity is not always self-evident — academics, please remember there can be huge costs to uniformity

I see something related in education. Sometimes there is big demand in the global education community for common tests, which allow easier cross-country comparisons, but aren't always *necessarily* the best investment for the country (relative to better national exams).
