It starts with this question We don’t invest in organizations that don’t measure impact; they’re flying blind and we would be too. It’s crucial that I be able to figure out impact; it’s even more important for you. All I do is spend someone else’s money; you are the kind of people who could do anything is this is how you choose to spend your lives. You deserve to know.
In the Philippines, where the loans were targeted specifically at entrepreneurs, access to credit did not increase investment in business activities and, in fact, appeared to shrink the size and scope of businesses. However, profits increased for male entrepreneurs. In India, areas with access to credit saw 32% more new businesses than those without, and the new businesses were more likely to belong to women. Business owners reported higher profits, and many households increased their spending on durable goods. The positive impacts on profits and new business creation suggests that microcredit does deliver on some of its entrepreneurial promises. Hopes of a broader transformative effect, however, are not supported by the evidence we have thus far. Health, education, women's status, and even overall consumption appear unaffected by the availability of microcredit during the 1.5 years covered by the studies. In brief, microcredit seems to have delivered the immediate benefits one might expect-credit enables recipients to purchase expensive investment goods essential to beginning or improving a business-but not much beyond. Recent studies in India and the Philippines revealed that microfinance does affect some people differently than others. The findings, however, run counter to traditional assumptions about who is impacted in what way by access to credit. Neither study found significant impacts on women's empowerment, although in India new businesses created in areas with access to credit were more likely to be owned by women. In the Philippines, research revealed that men who were extended access to microcredit had higher business profits than those without access, but found that access to credit made no difference to women. Men with access to credit also had more family members enrolled in school, which suggests they spent more on education. A study in Peru found that the impact of microcredit on businesses was improved by the addition of business training.
Don’t reach back in time: expensive and unreliable Give yourself the right ingredients to show a real change Mostly careful logic and good sense Extraordinarily useful people and they’re usually really nice
It’s all about the counterfactual: trying to figure out what would have happened without you You know what happened with you; now you need to know what happens without you Real impact is the difference between the two

There are no new ideas Distribution includes parts and service Mosquito nets – we have them, we know people want them and will use them, but we can’t seem to get them in their hands. Behavior - using it right - has to happen and it has to last Early prototyping, field and market trials, lots of iteration
Distribution includes parts and service behavior: big problem = friction; doesn’t spin freely. kids play for a while, then only when white people return: play is capricious by its nature-that’s why they don’t call it work marketing: rural places don’t have enough traffic to make tank advertising model pay competition: women replacing with pump handles
