In your opinion, what does GiveDirectly do well, and what does it not do well?
In my opinion Give Directly does well to carry out its work in a professional way with out favouritism or asking for bribe and there has been less domestic violence issues because you always call for reconciliation of couples. On the other hand I don't see anything that Give Directly doesn't do well.
