How to measure something as complex (and hyped) as 'narrative change'? Concise article on latest thinking:
- 3 'buckets' (Culture, StratComms, Organising) & how they blend
- 4 steps to start with (most only do #1 & #2)
- 4 principles ("Focus on contribution > attribution")

As an evaluator, what do you call a situation where you start implementing programs and strategies without due diligence, transparent data and robust evidence? Actions which, by the way, impact a broad subsection of people. Can anyone on #eval bsky help me out? 🫣

Time to get more active on here because I need a more “positive” social media outlet. Also, I don’t want to look back at my posts and feel a sense of cringe. So will keep it simple: 👋🏿!

Many of us scientists in the Global South have been sciencing forever with limited resources, higher costs for infrastructure and reagents/consumables, high bureaucratic burden, no overheads, and still contributed to the generation of knowledge. We’ve developed adaptive strategies.
