#ModalitiesMatter!
Keep thinking about this finding from @a_peterman et al's meta-review:
- larger effects for ♀️ from unconditional CTs, asset transfers & social care services
*as compared to*
- food, vouchers / in-kind transfers, & conditional CTs

Q What key challenges do you face: In fragile & conflict situations we face complex layers of “shared sovereignty”. Locals have less say. The international community has a bigger say. Conflicting values of localization v shared sovereignty can undermine capacity!
Great talk @oxmartinschool by Patrick Vallance, UK Chief Scientist 2018-2023. This slide credited with persuading PM Boris Johnson on climate change. Important lesson for academics: no #policyinfluence without good communication (previously reported here bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…)

A reminder to apply for STAAR support by 29th January. This is a great opportunity to receive technical assistance / support on gender and social protection, and on social protection in crises contexts.

"So I’m not asking for your action, I’m asking for your attention. I’m asking you to stop acting like climate change is a joke.
To stop ridiculing us for caring about it.
And when you’re old enough, I want you to consider it when you vote."

But implementing this kind of ambitious approach to partnerships requires change in how embassies and the country network operate, and investment in their capabilities and the kind of tools they have at their disposal, as well as their flexibility of action.

Friends, thanks for your concern but it’s fake news: Baba is totally fine. We just spent a wonderful week together w/ family in Cambridge—his hug as strong as always last night when we said bye! He is teaching 2 courses a week at Harvard, working on his gender book—busy as ever!

Great to have yet more evidence for early interventions ahead of disasters.
See also previous work by @cabotventon, e.g. bit.ly/40MRzew.
@STAAR blog planned soon on this, w/ @ValentinaBarca_
(Note @gamblingondev says updated version of Bang'h paper coming soon)
Cash transfers *ahead of time* are arguably more effective than ex post disaster relief.

What do a 'solar system' and #socialprotection have in common? We created this #visual during the COVID-19 response to clearly illustrate all the fundamental '#system' building blocks that matter - and wanted a 2pager to accompany... xitter.gq/STAAR_Facility/status/…
Framing #socialprotection as a 'Solar System', @valentinaBarca_ and @juangogogo demonstrate how the policy, programme and implementation levels must work together. Find out more on the @SP_Gateway here: socialprotection.org/discove…
