Last week at a team retreat at @cgdev.org, we were recapping examples of impact from CGD education work, and at some point someone asked: But can you name an impact NOT linked to Justin?

(I promise we had some, but the fact that someone had to ask the question points to Justin's outsized impact.)
Some personal/professional news...

After 14 (!) years, this was my last week at @cgdev.org

Posted a longer thread on the other site, and will share more later on what's next. For now, just want to say thank you.

An Advance Market Commitment (AMC) for neonatal sepsis diagnostics could save newborn lives and curb antibiotic resistance.

But how should such an AMC actually work? And how will we get it off the ground? 🧵

Cutting US funding for @gavi.org which leads on global vaccination efforts is incredibly shortsighted and misguided

In collaboration with @CGDev, we’re establishing a working group to design an Advance Market Commitment (AMC) for a rapid diagnostic for neonatal sepsis—a devastating and neglected cause of child mortality.

Here’s why this is our focus. 🧵👇

Given major foreign aid cuts around the globe, we must urgently get the most out of shrinking budgets.

@rglenner.bsky.social & @siddhharia.bsky.social argue it’s time for radical simplification—prioritizing a few simple, cost-effective, large-scale interventions. More:

This is brilliantly put by Rachel and @siddhharia.bsky.social , aid should stop trying to do everything and just do what it does best
As I meet people from aid agencies around the world this week I will be making the case for a radical simplification in how we do aid:
fewer countries,
fewer projects,
radically simpler programs.

It was key takeaway from my time in govt. Read why.
