Article from Melinda Gates about why measurement is important. Picks up on themes on Bill Gates Annual Letter
Bill and I are used to journalists calling us data nerds. Sometimes it's meant as a compliment, sometimes it's not, but we always take it in a positive way. At Microsoft, we analyzed mountains of data to make the best possible business decisions. We have tried to bring the same culture to our foundation. However, we've had to come to terms with the fact that in certain areas of global health, the data just aren't very good.
If we invest in better measurement, we will get a lot more impact out of all that courageous effort.
