Men pay higher tax rates where income tax progressivity is higher due to higher average income. This should be gender equalizing. Leading our Poverty & Inequality portfolio, Dr. @MorganARichards finds tax progressivity has counterintuitive impacts on gender equality.

Global Insight is exploring a cross-national study on peacebuilding in Afghanistan, Niger, DRC, and Palestine. We are looking to expand our network of researchers in these places, but perhaps most urgently in Niger and Palestine.

Weeks in Uganda are a reminder of the intersection between local markets + impact. Even the most brilliant investments and programs face the proverbial "impact wall" when local politics, legacies of violence, and changing climate all relative to market systems are not considered.
