Preliminary Charity Entrepreneurship research suggests the counterfactual impact of a conditional cash transfer charity may be larger than that of a number of other intervention areas we’re considering from GiveWell’s priority program list.
At this preliminary stage some ideas we have heard of include cash transfers conditional upon:
Up to date child immunizations.
Malnourished children receiving vitamin A supplementation.
Requesting feedback to shape research into possible conditional cash transfer charity
Preliminary Charity Entrepreneurship research suggests the counterfactual impact of a conditional cash transfer charity may be larger than that of a number of other intervention areas we’re considering from GiveWell’s priority program list.
At this preliminary stage some ideas we have heard of include cash transfers conditional upon:
Up to date child immunizations.
Malnourished children receiving vitamin A supplementation.
Performance of healthcare workers.
Malnourished pregnant females receiving folic acid supplementation.
Participation in ultra poor graduation programs.
Participation in data collection programs.
Whilst all feedback has some value and is appreciated, feedback that may have a greater influence shaping our research would make us consider:
Possible flaws with conditional cash transfers.
Possible flaws in the ideas that we have heard of or reasons to think some of these ideas have a lot more potential than others.
Other conditions a conditional cash transfer charity could base itself upon that seem particularly good from an EA perspective.
Thanks for your feedback :)
