Impact in Global Development | Discussion Series | Week 2 - Evidence-based interventions, RCTs, global health & charities

[Hannah Tookey]

EA Manchester is running a local version of Impact in Global Development: A Discussion Series, David Nash’s 7-week program exploring different approaches to impact in global development.

You’re welcome to attend as many of the discussion weeks as you’d like.

Before attending:

• Please fill out this 3-question pre-survey (regardless of how many sessions you’re attending). At the end of the series, you’ll be asked to complete a short post-survey, and David will use the results of this to understand the programme’s impact.

• Pre-reading (approx 1 hour): please read this blog post: Week 2 - Evidence-based interventions, RCTs, global health & charities (or listen to an 18-minute podcast overview here).

  • We’ll try to structure the session so that those who haven’t had time to complete the pre-reading are still able to contribute, but it’ll be a much better experience if you can!

At the start of the session, we’ll pick a few questions—either choosing from those at the bottom of the blog post, or making up our own—to discuss.

Further Dates:

• May 27: Week 3 - Democracy, Institutions and Government

• June 12: Week 4 - Economic growth

• June 26: Week 5 - The Private Sector

• July 10: Week 6 - Innovation & science

• July 24: Week 7 - AI, data and the future of development
