This report is a broad overview of larval source management, including evidence for effectiveness, room for more funding, and coverage by existing implementers.

This summary aims to understand whether and how the “double treatment” parameter in GiveWell’s model on vitamin A supplementation should be updated, and to produce estimates for additional countries of interest.

This is a summary of an evidence review of family planning interventions. The review mostly focused on the Family Planning High Impact Practices List, or HIPs, which are a set of family planning practices considered to be the gold standard, and on “Service Delivery” interventions, the category of HIPs that best aligns with GiveWell’s traditional program model.

Universal introduction of vaccines in low- and middle-income countries has lagged behind introductions in high-income countries. While Gavi—a global public-private partnership—has helped to alleviate cost-related delays, additional bottlenecks remain. This report suggests interventions to further improve efficiency and experiences throughout the vaccine delivery process.

The primary focus of this report is to review GiveWell’s current formulation of its discount rate by recommending improvements and reinforcing justifications for areas that do not require improvement.

In 2019, there were about 1.2 million deaths due to road injuries—about 90% of which occurred in low- and middle-income countries. In this report, researchers reviewed case studies of key time periods in China and Vietnam to better understand the relative impact of (philanthropically-funded) policy changes versus other factors.

This report provides an overview of how market shaping is typically used in global health, its recent track record, and ongoing gaps in its implementation. The researchers also spotlight two specific market shaping approaches: pooled procurement and subscription models.

Research Analyst Bruce Tsai and Research Assistant Erin Braid estimate how many deaths have been averted by five medicines: four antimalarials and one HIV treatment. Their report then reconstructs each drug’s development story, including the roles of funding from companies, academics, government, and philanthropy.

This commissioned report assesses the cost-effectiveness of nonprofit Family Empowerment Media (FEM) on behalf of an anonymous donor.

Researcher Ruby Dickson and Senior Environmental Economist Greer Gosnell investigated various interventions that may help very poor people to increase their income and earning potential in the short and medium term. Their goal in this report is to provide a foundational overview of the potential for particular income-improving livelihood interventions with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

The first of a two-part series on anti-deforestation initiatives, this report examines the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the REDD+ framework for reducing forest loss and degradation and for abating CO2 emissions that contribute to climate change.
