Joan Gass (2019) recommends four areas of international development to focus on:
New modalities to foster economic productivity
New modalities or ways to develop state capabilities
Global catastrophic risks, particularly pandemic preparedness
Meta EA research on cause prioritization within global development
Improving state capabilities, or governments’ ability to render public services, seems especially promising for public-interest technologists interested in development (ICT4D). For example, the Zenysis platform helps developing-world governments make data-driven decisions, especially in healthcare. Biorisk management also looks promising from a tech standpoint.
