Testing ways to get health interventions transported to & taken up in remote, under-resourced areas: @mushfiq_econ (@YaleSOM @YaleEconomics @YaleRISE) & coauthors @nmeriggi Voorst & Kangbai research in #SierraLeone in @YaleInsights: insights.som.yale.edu/insights/going…

Not a new conclusion but worth reiterating: sustaining #behaviorchange and building new #habits at scale is not easy. Need constant innovation on the demand-side. 4/n

3. Wide spatial variation in progress, across & b/w states. 🙁 4. Substantial gains in regular toilet use 2014-19 have slowed, reversing in many states, particularly marginalized HH. 😞3/n

Talk about a program at #scale - building sanitation infrastructure & enabling behavior change in a country of 1.4 BILLION. Did it work? @YaleRISE founder @mushfiq_econ & co-authors Urmila Chatterjee, Juan Munoz and @imansen2 carefully assemble multiple data sets to answer. 1/n

So which is better? That well-worn answer: it depends. Bundled = faster connections but unbundled = longer-term quality which may reduce maintenance costs down the line. More discussions in the article. 7/n

3. Monitoring kind of mattered: randomized ex-post monitoring improved construction quality at AfDB sites but not WB sites. 6/n

Govt. must often procure goods & services at scale - how does the contracting structure affect outcomes? Catherine Wolfram, @tedmiguel, our own @e_o_hsu & @BerkouwerS study this in Kenya: cepr.org/voxeu/columns/….

In rural Sierra Leone, @nmeriggi (@The_IGC, @OxfordEconDept, @Oxford_CSAE ); M. Voors (@WUR); @mushfiq_econ (@YaleSOM); D. Kangbai (@mohs_sl); @NeelaSaldanha & @BatesJefferys (@YaleRISE) will evaluate mobile vaccine delivery teams w/ @mohs_sl & @Concern: ssrc.org/grantees/scali…

This will be excellent. Check it out!
