Systemic change marginal cost-effectiveness program estimation and evaluation
Effective Altruism, Research That Can Help Us Improve, Artificial Intelligence
Instead of focusing on single, the ones which are measurable and highlighted by academia, outcomes, one can focus on advancing systemic change (institutionalizing safe positive systems) by selecting programs with the highest (and lowest) marginal cost-effectiveness, considering impact costs development. Then, impact can be increased by 1) advising resource shifts from low to high cost-effectiveness programs, 2) funding additionalities that would not be switched into. For example, could a charity that advises on vaccinations cover a few less beneficiaries but the existing ones inform on ‘all they need to live well,’ using their already developed trusting relationships with local informants which reduces the marginal cost? The idea is to get this system acquired by Charity Navigator’s Impact Unit to significantly improve global philanthropic allocation.
