Mostly EA policy research in global development has stuck to health policy.
There is a bunch of research within the field of global health policy. Some good (independently evaluated / granted to by EA-aligned organisations) places to give are:
Beyond health policy (on growth, trade, corruption, immigration, freedom, human rights, etc) mostly EA organisations have not found any good places to donate.

Mostly EA policy research in global development has stuck to health policy.
There is a bunch of research within the field of global health policy. Some good (independently evaluated / granted to by EA-aligned organisations) places to give are:
Centre for Pesticide Suicide Prevention, CPSP
IPEN (Lead policy)
Vital Strategies (Alcohol policy)
Pure Earth (Lead Policy)

Policy – beyond just health policy
Beyond health policy (on growth, trade, corruption, immigration, freedom, human rights, etc) mostly EA organisations have not found any good places to donate.
This is (in my view) mostly due to a lack of anyone trying. But there have been at least some high quality efforts (e.g. on economic growth and civil conflict prevention) to find good donation places that have not bared fruit.
Founders Pledge do recommend:
Innovation in Government Initiative, a part of JPAL that may do some of this kind of stuff

Hope that helps
