6. What this implies
David K. Evans | @DaveEvansPhD | 21 October 2019 | CGDev.org
• When decentralizing resources, build institutions to
communicate about them locally and regularly.
A community-based project improved trust with meetings
in place
• Provide incentives to hold meetings
• Provide training and templates to make those meetings more
effective
Currently lots of variation in frequency of community
meetings
