Fragility makes evidence more essential—not less.
At the Third Edition of the #SudanConflictConference organized by @IFPRI, 3ie's Program Director-MENA Abdelrahman Nagy highlighted the gap between demand and supply of evidence in crisis settings—and how partnerships can help close it.

We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Abdelrahman Nagy as 3ie’s new Program Director for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
As 3ie’s work in the MENA region continues to grow, this new role will be key to our next phase of impact. We look forward to Abdelrahman’s leadership as we deepen partnerships and advance evidence-informed decision-making across the region.

Childcare subsidies and job-matching services aren’t always enough to increase women’s labor force participation. Why? Because norms matter. (1/3)

An interviewer just asked me what skills AI will make more important. My response? Critical thinking skills.
This is because in the past there was value in creating large quantities of information. That is now costless. The new currency is how to generate, assimilate, interpret, and make that large amount of information actionable.
The next question then becomes how do we teach, and improve our own, critical thinking skills? I discuss that in a recent study where I create a critical thinking skills hierarchy: ideas.repec.org/p/feb/artefa…
