This makes sense, thanks Nick! I suspect the larger positive/negative externality is the long-run effect on the strength of government health systems, which seems likely to be positive for most GW-funded programs (since those programs usually leverage government staff and funding).
hey Lucas i think you are often right, although there can be issues with dependency created too. i think factoring in post- program externalities is tricky but definitely worth thinking about qualitatively at the very least

Thanks Nick, what do you mean by issues with dependency? Is that the government becoming dependent on an NGO?
