I am curious about the finding of “government and policy experts” being perceived as a priority for the EA community as a whole, but not for individual organizations. The speculation in the report offers some scenarios as to what is meant by the respondents rating this highly, but I haven’t seen comments here that address this open ended question.
I comment as someone with government and policy background exploring the EA community over the last year or so with curiosity. I think I’m mid-career and looking at effective giving strategies, but trying to read more on policy roles within EA.
I think it’s that none of the existing EA organizations would want to hire government and policy experts to their own orgs, but would very much like to see people with an EA approach working in government.
