Hi Nick, Great to hear from you and to get your on-the-ground feedback. I lead the research team at CE.
These are all really really great points and I will make sure they are all noted in the implementation notes we produce for the (potential) founders.
All our ideas have implementation challenges, but we think that delivering on these ideas is achievable and we are excited to find and train up potential founders to work on them!!

One point of clarification, in case it is not clear: on kangaroo care we are recommended an approach of providing and adding extra staff into healthcare facilities to offer kangaroo care support, rather than trying to get current staff to take on the additional burden of teaching kangaroo care. We hope and expect (based on our conversations with experts) that this approach can sidestep at least some of the implementation issues identified by GiveWell.
Thanks for the clarification—I like that idea of having an extra staff. That staff could easily be a community health worker rather than a nurse or midwife. Having say 1 manager for the program supervising 10 to 20 of those staff in hospitals could be a very efficient way to make it happen, nice one.
