When Good Intentions Aren't Enough
In 2012, Uganda did something that shocked the development world-they banned new mobile health projects. Not because technology couldn't help their healthcare crisis, but because hundreds of well-meaning organizations had flooded the country with disconnected pilot programs that never scaled, never integrated, and ultimately never delivered on their promises. Hospital administrators were drowning in incompatible systems. Patients were confused by overlapping services. And the government had had enough. This moment crystallizes a painful truth: the social sector is full of passionate people solving the wrong problems in the wrong ways. We're so busy doing good that we rarely stop to ask whether we're actually making a measurable difference. What if the principles that transformed how we build technology could revolutionize how we create social change? Not by imposing Silicon Valley's arrogance onto complex human problems, but by embracing its discipline around learning, iteration, and evidence. The challenge isn't just about working harder-it's about working smarter, with clear metrics and rigorous validation of what actually creates lasting change.
