Our preliminary estimate suggested that IPTi may be around 18 times as cost-effective as cash transfers, which is above the range of cost-effectiveness of programs we would consider funding.[8]
Wow, that’s great. 18x cash as a preliminary estimate isn’t surprising to me given that I had already seen GiveWell’s communications that it expected to identify a lot of funding opportunities above 8x cash in 2022, but still I can’t help but notice and reflect for a moment on the fact that 18x cash is way better than cash transfers. Imagine donating $52,000 and saving ~18 lives instead of ~1.
