    Default digesting the WDR

    Lots of WoRDs in the WDR. What to take away? I find the WB approach is often overly academic and complex. Spend a year researching something and produce a 200 page report that makes your head spin. Other things are kinda duh like:

    Insight 4: Involving women in security, justice, and economic empowerment programs can deliver results and support longer-term institutional change.
    It might. depends....give it a shot.

    Actually, the two primary authors are both operations people, with 5-6 decades of combined experience decades working in Afghanistan, Burundi, CAR, DRC, Guinea Bissau, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Haiti, Indonesia, Liberia, Nepal, Palestine, Rwanda, Sudan, South Africa, Thailand, and Timor Leste.
    They mostly come at night. Mostly.
