A number of my followers are non- economist but want to know about economics and our economy. I am very happy also most are from IT & the natural sciences. One of them asked me to suggest readings for non- economists intetested in econ& Eth econ . I suggested this👇 & he likes it. I thought sharing this here is a good idea too.1/2

Having a crappy day yesterday but stopped into a book store and saw not only a copy of Gifts of Africa in the History section but 2 copies of Prevail, which normally hasn't sat there for a while. In October, the book will have chugged along in print for a whole decade. Nice.
WLRC had a great high-level dissemination workshop

'2 billion people lack access to #safewater' - a stat we've heard a lot during #UN2023WaterConference.
Prof @katrinacharles debunks what's behind the stat: Is it accurate? Does it tell the full story? And how do we get to universal access by 2030?

The UN has 17 Sustainable Development Goals dedicated to alleviating poverty, none of which include having a business-friendly environment.
At the end of the day, that’s all we need. We don’t need fake NGO jobs. We need the right environment to be able to create our own jobs.

Water quality changes bn source & point of use in urban piped water systems =f(pipewater residence time (RT),source water compositional stability, & -ve pressure in networks). 222Rn is shown to be a promissing new tool to estimate pipe water RT. &more⬇️

REACH is on track to improving water security for 10M people & our Exit Strategy asks: how do we get to tens of millions more?
Our REACH conference on 20-22 September 2023 in Oxford will be a key platform for answering this question.
Registrations opening soon - stay tuned!
With @FCDOGovUK-funded REACH due to end in 2024, how do we ensure the legacy of the programme?
🆕Our Exit Strategy highlights opportunity to SUSTAIN, SCALE UP, and SCALE OUT our work.

A highlight from @BehailBirhan yesterday: forthcoming @reachwater work uses stable isotopes to identify abstraction source of tapwater. In the graphic top left, strongest red shows highest concentration of water abstracted from groundwater sources; green, surface water

*LAND* 🌱Our 1st Story of Change.
In Ethiopia 85% of land is considered to be degraded.
In collaboration with WLRC, @IFPRI & @IRCWASH, our research shows the benefits of Sustainable Land Management in securing water for livelihoods and household use.
