Research finds people use these funds to improve their health, education, income, and self-reliance, ultimately reducing adult and child mortality. And these results can be sustained years into the future. [Footnote: Source on reducing adult & child mortality. Two examples of long-term cash impact: Uganda (12 years), Mexico (20 years).]
GiveDirectly’s baseline measures don’t date back that far, but we do expect research on 5- and 9-year follow-up measures sometime in 2024.
Cash transfers alone won’t eradicate extreme poverty globally, however they’re an under-funded and under-utilized tool that would massively reduce extreme poverty and work in compliment with other efforts.

That makes sense to me, and matches with what I see in the post. I find the title a little surprising/misleading compared to what you’ve said here
