are we building ways to learn by doing into these programmes?
The discussions on post suggest that it’s at least plausible that the answers are ‘no’, ‘anything that seems plausibly good’ and ‘no’, which I think would be concerning for most people, irrespective of where you sit on the various debates/continuums within EA.
This varies grantmaker-to-grantmaker but I personally try to get an ROI that is at least 10x better than donating the equivalent amount to AMF.
I’d really like to help programs build more learning by doing. That seems like a large gap worth addressing. Right now I find myself without enough capacity to do it, so hopefully someone else will do it, or I’ll eventually figure out how to get myself or someone at Rethink Priorities to work on it (especially given that we’ve been hiring a lot more).
Absolutely. And so the questions are:
have we defined that ROI threshold?
what is it?
