Yesterday was my last day as Poverty and Inequality Lead at DI, best of luck to the team as they employ data and evidence for good. I've got a few weeks before starting my next career adventure, so let me know if there are any projects I can help out with!

Two important takeaways for me on tax and inequality: 1- Recognising tax as a social contract, having a stake and voice, for all 2 - Enormous potential for unearned income to be redistributed to improve individual and collective outcomes

How do you measure the income status of a country? My colleagues break it down for you and explain why you might get more than one answer...
Development Initiatives (DI)@devinitorg
President Museveni of #Uganda says that the country had achieved lower-middle-income status, a claim that the World Bank disputes. @zchriste and Dean Breed examine the contested #data and explain why settling such debates can be far from straightforward: devinit.org/blog/data-behi…

This picture might not look like much, but it represents a new answer to the question, ‘how can I do the most good?’
It's taken over 3 years and 10,000 hours of research to get here.

Please read, then AMA about this research!

Really important analysis by my brilliant friend and colleague Fran, showing the need to get more humanitarian funding into the hands of local actors doing the essential work.
Fran Girling@FranGirling1
Great to have worked on this report with @MulteciKonseyi on tracking funding to local actors in Türkiye. NB: following the money shouldn't be this hard! devinit.org/resources/fund… @devinitorg

In the bleak context of rising poverty and inequality, we look at the role #data can play and how OECD donors in particular can support efforts to strengthen national data ecosystems devinit.org/blog/poverty-i…

@WendyEdelberg on the role of fiscal policy to smooth and redistribute costs of crises and policy makers are more comfortable borrowing to smooth over time - obfuscating costs, rather than between people through redistribution (despite obvious benefits for inequality). #CGDtalks

New @UNRISD report on the need for a new eco-social contract, feels extremely pertinent for the UK right now, where the chaos of government is so completely detached from what people need this winter. unrisd.org/en/projects/un…
