New @CGDev Paper! We (with @StellasOut & @RoryTodd12) document gender bias across over 1,200+ school books from 34 countries. Women & girls are - less present in textbooks - depicted in stereotypical roles
Great to hear @PowerUSAID citing so much @CGDev research and analysis in her commitment at Davos today. And just brilliant news to have the USG so firmly behind efforts to eliminate childhood lead poisoning.

The Guardian covering the final statement of the CGD working group on lead poisoning, signed by NGO leaders, experts, and many others in education and global health. 50 million a year until 2030 can put us on the path to ending childhood lead poisoning. theguardian.com/global-develop…
New today: the final statement from the @CGDev expert working group on lead poisoning Lead exposure kills more people than HIV/AIDS or malaria, and its totally preventable. Blog: cgdev.org/blog/why-endin… Statement: cgdev.org/publication/ca…
Just 💰 $350m—$50 million a year until 2030—could get the world on track to end childhood #leadpoisoning. 🌍 In a NEW statement, @CGDev & global experts call on leaders to take urgent action to end childhood lead poisoning by 2040 ⬇ bit.ly/3QiCgYq
Today @CGDev releases the final statement of our Working Group on Lead Poisoning, signed by 26 leading experts and practitioners. In it, we call on world leaders to end childhood lead poisoning by 2040--and outline why it matters and how it can happen. cgdev.org/publication/ca…
The IMF/World Bank meetings in Morocco could have marked a turning point after years of US/European broken promises on climate and development finance. But they didn't. cgdev.org/blog/us-failed…
Final stats out today on UK's 2022 aid spend. Spending at home on refugees was by far the biggest category: - 3 x humanitarian spend - 3x direct spend in Africa. On Africa, spend⬇️28% (it was⬇️34% in 2021; ⬇️12% in 2020). So much for countering China and Russia.
🚨The @CGDev Lead Poisoning program is Hiring!🚨 We're looking for a Senior Policy Analyst, based in either DC or London, to help us ramp up evidence-based policy outreach. See job listing here 👇 …erforglobaldevelopment.applytojob.com/apply/Cft934kV…
Parents in poor countries are often invisible in debates on education policy. Bill Easterly calls this “the tyranny of experts”. So, for once, we asked 1425 Ghanian parents whether they would prefer cash or take-home rations to onsite school meals. 3 out of 4 chose onsite meals!

@themaxburns i think you’re confusing data labeling with being some kind of surveillance cashier. you’d need to label the video data so the ai can understand and then be used at scale
South Asian textbooks show especially strong gender bias. This strikes me as a relatively low-hanging fruit that could help promote gender equality: Remove sexist bias from school textbooks.

An economist reflects:
Unsurprisingly, a detailed, wonky blog about Government back office functions didn’t go viral. But ICYMI, if you care about the impact of UK development money and policy, you should care about these things very much.
Much that determines effectiveness in Government is unsexy: how its policy function is organized; how it runs HR, procurement and programme management; and accountability lines. But it matters, and in the UK, for development, it needs reform. Blog: cgdev.org/blog/how-labou…
There are so many important lessons to learn about international development from this awful case (thread). 1. Consider for a moment how ridiculously easy it is to do consequential stuff in low-income countries.

If you're defending the mass starvation of children in Gaza, then it's time to take a step back & look at your moral compass: "Surely it is impossible for us, as normal human beings, to watch children starve to death without making an effort to save them." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I do constantly find it amazing that demanding that civilians receive food aid has become a controversial act in the US when it comes to Gaza. I have worked in humanitarian emergencies for almost two decades and I’ve never once seen this politicized so much, except in…
More than 500 trucks should be entering Gaza daily. In the past week only ~85/day managed to get through. Everything behind me here at this @WFP warehouse in Jordan should be in Gaza to address what WFP calls “catastrophic levels of hunger.” (1/2)

Great to see USAID taking on lead poisoning worldwide — a neglected, tractable, high-impact problem. Kudos to @leannajoon, @GawandeUSAID and others at AID for elevating the issue.
In low and middle income countries, 1 in every 2 children has elevated levels of lead in their blood. This is an enormous threat to public health – but a problem that we can take action to address right now. Tune in @ 9am EST tomorrow for more. #WEF24 weforum.org/events/world-e…
