?? Just in! A groundbreaking $15 million initiative to combat pediatric tuberculosis (TB) in India through the GiveWell-funded Maximum Impact Incubator in partnership with IDinsight at #CGI2024! ??https://ow.ly/lop650Ttkc7 Why It Matters ?Protecting Vulnerable Children: TB among kids under five accounts for over 10% of global TB deaths. This initiative ensures life-saving therapy reaches those in hard-to-reach communities. ?Innovative Solutions: We’ll implement the 3HP regimen—a shorter, safer treatment with fewer side effects. ?Scaling Impact: Training 37,000 healthcare workers will allow us to reach over 250,000 children in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, preventing thousands of new TB cases. CHAI's Maximum Impact Incubator is reshaping global health philanthropy models and how we approach health interventions, ensuring every dollar makes a difference. Together, we can transform global health philanthropy and make a real impact in the fight against pediatric TB! ???? #HealthForAll #EndTB #TBNoMore #ClintonGlobalInitiative2024 #ClintonHealthAccess #UNGA79 Elie Hassenfeld Neel Lakhani Neil Buddy Shah Michael Campbell.

We talk a lot about our focus on cost-effectiveness, so we're thrilled to see Our World in Data's extremely thorough breakdown of the relative effectiveness of global health interventions. New Incentives is one of the four "extraordinary charities" the article features, as recommended by GiveWell (catch us in the footnotes). https://lnkd.in/gG2cN9Se

?? Exciting news in the fight against malaria ?? ???? ???? BIT is partnering with Malaria Consortium to design low-cost interventions to promote the use of insecticide-treated nets in Uganda and Nigeria. ??This work, funded by GiveWell, leverages BIT’s expertise in behavioural science and Malaria Consortium’s extensive experience in the prevention, management, and elimination of the disease. It will be one of the first major projects worldwide to apply behavioural insights to malaria prevention. ?? Over 90% of malaria cases and deaths occur in sub-saharan Africa. Nets are a powerful tool to prevent new infections - but work best when they are used consistently. ?? Through community-based and qualitative research, user-testing and more, we will help overcome the barriers people have to using nets and develop a low-cost solution that saves lives.
