Yeah, this would be nice to have. CEA’s Community Building Grants (CBG) programme had the possibility for 2-year renewals for a brief period, but this policy was recently scrapped due to funding uncertainty. Shardul from EA India shared with me his experience as the second hire at GFI India. If I recall correctly, they were given funding for something like 5 years to get going, and he said this transformed their ability to build and execute a vision. The value of this stability was brought into relief when he joined the CBG programme, which has similar aims but nowhere near the stability.
From a productivity point of view, I guess what we ought to aim for is flexicurity, as typified by Denmark. For those fortunate enough to live in parts of Northwestern Europe this is already the case thanks to strong social security, but I struggle to see how a movement can provide it elsewhere. Perhaps a Basefund but for employment?
