First and foremost, I also think that E2G is generally/​globally neglected within AW (the sub area of EA I know most about, not sure about EA more broadly) and that its potential is biggest in the Global North.
I also agree that we don’t necessarily need local donors to increase local participation—this bottleneck can be solved differently (Vasco’s point and Mo’s examples).
I do think it’s important to distinguish E2G from EG. People can do the latter without doing the former. As you know, I’ve become excited about people taking jobs in government, corporations, etc. to drive change for animals from the inside (forcontext). This could be combined with some (modest) giving. What do you think about these paths?
Regarding the other constraints you mentioned (lack of knowledge about impactful opportunities, tax deductibility, etc.): We’re currently thinking about how we can help solve these through AAA. Will keep you posted!
Thanks Felix, I agree with many of your points.
