Aid Thoughts

The Twelve Days of Christmas (Aid Edition)™

A repost from last year – but a worthy one (I think):

On the twelfth day of Christmas my donors gave to me

twelve delayed disbursements!

eleven sketchy studies

ten consultants calling

nine economists arguing

eight mission meetings

seven worthless workshops

six gender trainings

five RCTs!

four 4x4s

three acronyms

two empty schools

and a lecture on M&E!

–

On sale now.
