It was an honor to sit up on the panel with folks doing such good work bringing evidence to policy making in their own countries and around the world. EGAP is a bridge between the academic and policy worlds, needed now more than ever!
Thank you to our expert moderator @MorganOHolmes and our entire panel: Oke Epia (@orderpaper), Viola Asri (@cmi_no), Sana Khan (@sparkmg), Flora Myamba (Women & Social Protection Tanzania) & Seema Shah (@Int_IDEA)

Thanks for the shout-out, @egaptweets! It turns out I’ll be presenting another paper, on the effects of the “soldados de mi pueblo” program in Colombia, which deployed locally-recruited soldiers for counterinsurgency tasks. Joint work with @robert_a_blair @FelipeParraE and Gabriela Ramírez.

Replying to @raulpacheco
@raulpacheco y yo nos conocimos cuando empezamos a trabajar en el @CIDE_MX. Nos veíamos en los talleres de @EGAPTweets. Entre otras cosas, dejé México por la inseguridad. Raúl siempre buscaba el lado bueno a las cosas. Su compromiso con el país, la educación e investigación 1/x

This is terribly sad news. I knew Raúl through @EGAPTweets, but especially through his contributions online. He built up a remarkably large community of followers by simply being himself: generous, meticulous, serious but also silly, and convinced academia mattered. A huge loss.
La FLACSO México lamenta el sensible fallecimiento del Dr. Raúl Pacheco-Vega entrañable profesor-investigador, colega, amigo y miembro muy querido de nuestra comunidad académica. Expresamos nuestras más sentidas condolencias a sus familiares, amistades, colegas, estudiantado y a las comunidades académicas de las que formó parte.

Thinking back of those days in 🇦🇱 1st time I trained multiple survey teams to conduct lab in the field experiments in schools (instead of being at every school myself). What a massive learning process I’ve gone through in the past 15-20 yrs. Still learning every day.
Today's spotlight on EGAP work in #Europe: Abigail Barr & @danilaserra_eco investigate whether willingness to cooperate w/ others for common good is associated w/ willingness to participate in school accountability institutions & voting in Albania. buff.ly/CApq9qb

Have you been wondering for years how the new waste collection service in Zomba, Malawi, affected tax compliance? Check out our open-access SCID article on "Public Service Provision and the Virtuous Circle": link.springer.com/article/10…
Learning how the skips are loaded onto the solid waste collection truck to be taken for disposal as part of the #Metaketa II: Taxation project in Malawi! #SkipsNotBunkers @jakewbowers @MSWinters1
