Loved this piece in today's NYT - returning to indigenous land relationships (ie inter-cropping, getting rid of row farming, organic over chemical, etc) is producing healthier and wealthier farmers.
Some of the most climate-vulnerable farmers in the world have become some of the most creative farmers in the world.
I met them on a recent trip to Malawi:

Just back from @SkollFoundation World Forum - 5th time, 1st as a funder. Seeing it from the āother sideā reinforced my sense that funders must be accountable to the impact they are (or are not) investing in. @mulagostarr ssir.org/articles/entry/dontā¦ via @SSIReview ā at San Francisco, CA
Great jump start into @SkollWorldForum - @mulagostarr leading a session for doers working on their scale strategy. Great to co-host with our friends from @dovetailimpact

This piece in @SSIReview shares examples of scaling impact beyond just organizational growth. Shout out to @HealthyLearners, @VisionSpring & @Living_Goods and other @MulagoFound supported orgs with a focus on scaling impact > scaling payroll. š lnkd.in/eBCrQD5h ā at Aspen, CO
Social entrepreneurs- are you thinking about doing an RCT? Just rediscovered this thread - great reminder of when randomization can help (and hurt!) organizations. ā at Aspen, CO
we - Mulago - have a some common advice to any of our organizations planning a big, expensive, third-party randomized control trial (RCT). there's a lot of uses for randomization, but in this thread RCT means a big trial that can prove (or not) your thing is worth scaling. a š§µ

One of the many perks of working at @MulagoFound is learning from the best thinkers and doers. Thanks Richard for sharing how your team is evaluating agency as a core tenant of your investment thesis!
Fun chat today with Richard Sedlmayr ā¦@AgencyFundā© about an āagencyā lens. Our language is different but we definitely agree the right psycho-social engagement and HOW solutions are delivered has a big role in what impact results. (ā¦@AveryBangā© loves office chats!)

Just wrapped up a @MulagoFound site visit with @cam_dairies and their incredible leader Aisha Bashir (far right). CĆ¢m creates wealth for pastoralists by sourcing raw milk for their diary company from women like Safiyah (left). @StanfordGSB - great alumni impact at scale story ā at Abuja, Nigeria
"If you want the unemotional giving to have the highest impact... best to contribute to institutions working on kickstarting economic growth in Africa." Great piece by @ideasofindia open.substack.com/pub/srajagā¦
