You can see the brochure HERE. My picture is on the front and back cover. ODI’s Research and Development programme (RAPID) works to understand the relationship between research, policy and practice and promoting evidence-informed policy-making.

Non sono mai stato prima in una zona colpita da un disastro naturale. Ieri ho preso la bici e sono andato verso le colline a ovest di Dumaguete, una delle zone colpite dalle inondazioni provocate dal tifone Sendong il 17. Dicembre scorso. Ho messo delle foto in Flickr a questo indirizzo: . Parto da casa, quartiere Batayan e prendo Rovira Road. Passo la National Road e proseguo lungo la strada che va verso Valencia. Voglio […]
This is a slightly revised version of the eulogy I delivered for Clarence at his memorial. I’d like to thank all our fans and friends who have comforted us over the past difficult weeks.FOR THE BIG MAN I’ve been sitting here listening to everyone talk about Clarence and staring at that photo of the two of us right there. It’s a picture of Scooter and The Big Man, people who we were sometimes. As you […]

It is July 1990. It is hot. I am jet legged and travelled for 24 hours. First by train from Cremona to Roma. Then with an Air Jordan flight to Amman and connection to Delhi. I am with a group of four other friends and for me is the first time outside Europe. I am 23. My blue Invicta rucksack is the first to be delivered by the belts so I am sent out of […]
Nice speech about people, solidarity, and respect. In my opinion it tells about the attempt by a country like Germany to recognize its multi-ethnic nature and the ways its shapes its society. We are all on the same journey here. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8O5fvmnHgM?fs=1&w=480&h=295]
When do you leave?. The question, when asked in English, has a broader meaning than the Italian: Quando parti?, which clearly refers to a trip, a travel, a rucksack which is being lifted on the shoulders to go to a railway station or an airport. I think that Quando parti? (both in English and Italian) has been the question I have been asked the most after: How are you? Is this good? Is this bad? […]
