>> My name is Oscar Obello, and I'm the Senior Program Associate for communications
at The Results for Development Institute.
[Silence] My role is basically to help the organization create and communicate the story
about itself, to funders, to the media to potential partners.
We want to get our name out there and get some good discussion
and debates about the work that we're doing.
Results for Development Institute was founded in 2007, to unlock solution to tough challenges
in low and middle income countries.
On a daily basis, my job entails a lot of writing and editing for different audiences,
so there's academic audiences, there are other aid workers,
other [inaudible] development workers, there are students, and professors, there are,
and there's the media and the general public that we want them to know more about our work,
and so, I, whether its blog posts or research papers, or just our website or newsletters,
I help craft, edit, and make all these things better.
