Great insights there, hope to hear from you more on the forum!
Yes thanks to much I understand better now. I agree that Rwanda’s structure is resilient and enabled them to maintain service delivery during the pandemic. Uganda was terrible in this front, for a number of reasons. During the early lockdowns people died because of poor access—this is an article about a kid dying after we couldn’t refer them from one of our OneDay health centers
I think resilience is important but I’m struggling to see how we can test for it in solid ways. In this case I think we have to really on case studies like Rwanda during covid like you say. As a side note like I mentioned in the article, over a 10 year period almost every development thing in Rwanda seemed to work well and bore fruit, and I consider them a success story more than necessarily a model for other countries. Takes a pretty savage dictator to stay on that tight path!
I would hope that many of the same interventions that bring resilience also bring more immediate benefits that would be measurable, but you’re right that won’t always be the case.
