Exciting new results from the Millennium Village in Ghana

Only joking. Six years in, and Bonsaaso [the MV in Ghana] primary school has no toilet.
"Our toilet facilities at Bonsaaso primary school are not working at all," said Owusu [acting headteacher]. "The children have to go home when they need to use the toilet."

Reading that Guardian piece, what's your assessment of whether or not the project has proven to be "enormously successful" in meeting these goals, as its founder asserts?

Rigorous impact evaluation is a tool for transparency and accountability.
