"GiveDirectly did well by conducting a meeting with the community members before embarking on the enrollment. We were taught well in the meeting and the people got to learn a lot about GiveDirectly and the program. Other than that, I also liked the fact that there was no biasness in the enrollment process. Everyone was enrolled as long as you were meeting their selection criteria. I hence do not see anything wrong with the way they conducted their work."
