In addition to the $3.9M grant, thereās also a more recent $15M grant to scale up.
Thankyou for this- Iāve updated the post. I think this particular narrow intervention (adding syphilis testing to routine HIV screening programmes) is super exciting.
I was surprised to read that GiveWell estimates the value of āaverting stillbirth or miscarriageā at 21(where 1 is the value of doubling someoneās income for 1 year) and the value of averting a stillbirth at 33based on a survey of ā70 of our largest donorsā, sadly it seems that they didnāt have beneficiaries survey data on the value of preventing stillbirths.
Thatās more than what I would have guessed (for reference, the value of āpreventing one 5-and-over death from malariaā is 83).
Interesting. What would your guess have been? My instinct is that people will have a very wide range of intuitions on this, at least until weāre able to be a bit more specific about what weāre asking for- even then, I expect quite a high degree of variance in how much people value averting a stillbirth. I donāt have a strong opinion myself on what the right number is.

I agree with this, and I think this might be a case where the largest donors, median donors, and beneficiaries might have very different intuitions.
What would your guess have been?
Very low confidence, but my central estimate would have been closer to 10, when asking beneficiaries, but itās a baseless wild guess based on nothing.

Agreed that this seems very possible. Who should we listen to most closely if it is the case?
