00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:04.180
>> My name is Oscar Velo [Assumed Spelling],
and I am the Senior Program Associate

00:00:04.180 --> 00:00:09.040
for Communications at the
Results for Development Institute.

00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:20.650
My role is basically to help the organization
create and communicate the story about itself,

00:00:20.650 --> 00:00:24.460
to funders, to the media, to potential partners.

00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:27.960
We want to get our name out there
and get some good discussion

00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.020
and debate about the work that we're doing.

00:00:31.020 --> 00:00:36.750
The Results for Development Institute
was founded in 2007 to unlock solutions

00:00:36.750 --> 00:00:41.020
to tough challenges in low
and middle income countries.

00:00:41.020 --> 00:00:48.550
On a daily basis my job entails a lot of
writing and editing for different audiences,

00:00:48.550 --> 00:00:55.340
so there's academic audiences, there are other
aid workers, other goal development workers.

00:00:55.340 --> 00:01:02.420
There are students and professors, there are
- and there's the media and the general public

00:01:02.420 --> 00:01:05.140
that we want them to know more about our work.

00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:12.330
And so whether it's blog posts or
research papers or just our website

00:01:12.330 --> 00:01:19.460
or newsletters I help craft, edit
and make all of these things better.
