Kudos to Dean Karlan and his team for their valiant efforts to improve the cost-effectiveness of foreign aid. We'll find a way to continue this important work together.
Why Dean Karlan, chief economist of USAID, resigned on Tuesday
He was hired in 2022 so the aid agency could get 'more bang for our buck' with its projects. He tried to reach out to help in the rebuilding of the agency. On Tuesday he tendered his resignation.
