FWIW I have heard that the Gates Foundation’s work on TB is more cost effective than many EA-recommended charities, but EA doesn’t recommend TB interventions because of factors like room for funding, replaceability of donations by governments and larger funders etc.
So maybe this intervention is in a similar category?
FYI, Open Philanthropy recently regranted $40 million to the Gates Foundation’s TB work, so I wouldn’t say that EA “doesn’t recommend” TB interventions.
However, I don’t know if there are GiveWell-competitive options for individual donors in TB, or whether the people who chose the OP regrant would recommend Gates Philanthropy Partners as an option for individuals (I don’t see a way to target donations to GPP more specifically, so it seems like you may just be investing in their entire portfolio, which is presumably worse than their TB-focused work on average).
I work at Open Phil, but this comment doesn’t necessarily reflect Open Phil’s views.
