I feel like effective aid policy is at a similar stage to what animal well-being was at a few decades ago. People would agree that animal well-being is good, but they wouldn’t feel it’s important.
Maybe we need an org that does targeted public campaigns on how a certain aid organization is wasting money, combining that with pushing them to a commitment to more effectiveness. This approach has worked with some meat-intensive companies, and it might also work for non-profits if it can threaten their donor base.

If you publicize how the government aid org is wasting money, the entire budget may more likely get cut, not redirected to more effective aid.
May be better to highlight what the effective aid could do.
