Very intelligent people have been working very hard on finding way to improve economic development for many years. Unlikely that outsiders on an internet forum will see neglected solutions.
This post is a list of projects that very intelligent people have been working very hard on for years that you could fund.
If any of these think tanks had good evidence that their strategy reliably affected economic development, the strategy would quickly be widely adopted and promoted by the thousands of economic development researchers and organisations striving to find such a strategy. Economic development is not a neglected or underfunded field.
There is high-quality evidence supporting some of these orgs, but for the think-tank types, giving to them would be part of a more hits-based giving approach.
Also, I think many people would say that economic development in LMICs in particularis neglected and underfunded. Stefan Dercon’s work (ex-chief economist of Britain’s aid agency and development economics professor) challenged my previous assumption that LMIC governments are already optimising for broad-based economic growth.
