Hello colleagues and friends, Olivier Girard here, recording from Ghana.

I’m an international development professional. I’ve been privileged to live and work in West Africa for over a decade. I enjoy conversations on peace, personal transformation, and social change with individuals whose job or mission it is to build a smaller world.

Today I am speaking with Chris Watson, Senior Director of International Development at Premise - Data for Every Decision™.

We talk about Premise Data’s innovative data collection business model, the fight against disinformation, advocating for foreign aid reforms through the Unlock Aid - Unlocking Innovation for 21st Century Challenges coalition, and Chris' support of the Development Data Partnership.
