Why this is on the board
GiveDirectly gives money directly to people in extreme poverty, and who receives that money often depends on one question: did this person live in that place at that time? You design how mobile providers work that out from their own data. Teams reuse these methods in country after country, so one good design helps determine who the money reaches, including just after a disaster.

About the role
