Kudos to the @thepolicypractice.bsky.social! It is important to preserve this #library and body of knowledge resource - hard to believe that this has been erased in the last 80 days of one U.S. administration.

This historic filibuster from Corey Booker is so uplifting - filled with love for America which I've heard little of lately!

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

In this article, I highlight the Adaptation Fund resource on #evaluation #budgeting, explain the strategic role for evaluators, & linking M&E. Evaluation budgets need to include full funding for data under the principle of collecting once and using many times.

Scott Chaplowe and Susan Legro have authored a useful resource on evaluation budgeting that supports climate change evaluations for the Adaptation Fund. I highly recommend this resource.
