Executive summary: The Effective Altruism (EA) movement faces challenges in engaging students and young professionals in India, but has significant untapped potential that could be realized through targeted community building efforts and incentives.
Key points:
The Undergraduate Priorities Project (UGAP) presents a major opportunity for EA outreach in India, but faces barriers like lack of awareness and interest.
Challenges for EA community builders in India include conservative college authorities, long working hours, and lack of diverse representation from developing countries.
Suggested improvements: Create a City Group Organiser Training Program focused on potential city groups, not just highly relevant ones.
Develop “points of attraction” or incentives to increase involvement from third world countries in terms of skills and ideas.
Establish an official EA India website to facilitate connections and support for local organizers.
Increase capacity building support from EA organizations for community builders in developing countries.

SummaryBot hallucinated an acronym! UGAP is the University Group Accelerator Program, not the “Undergraduate Priorities Project.”
Thank you for this!
