Evidence Action
Scales health interventions including deworming, safe water, nutrition and maternal health, using government partnerships.
85% of weighted axes reviewed. A mechanism hypothesis, not proven effectiveness or a donation recommendation.
The proposed pathway
Government delivery systems
Six dimensions, with rationale
Structural depth
3 / 4Works to embed tested health interventions in public delivery systems.
Institutional reach
3 / 4Government partnerships extend reach across large service populations.
Durability
2 / 4Public adoption could persist, but supply and maintenance are recurring needs.
Scalability
3 / 4Identifies and expands replicable low-cost interventions.
Funding additionality
UnreviewedUnknown: a current marginal funding gap, counterfactual and delivery capacity have not been audited.
Community agency
UnreviewedUnknown: decision rights and accountability to affected people have not been audited.
Evidence and selection
Independent historical program review
GiveWell historical review: Deworm the World; not current top-charity designation. The linked source includes this organization or specified program within that stated scope. Review the evaluator's actual scope ↗
A testable next question
Government partners should sustain coverage and intervention quality after technical assistance is reduced.
Review confidence: Medium for mechanism; limited for systemic attribution. Documented intervention design; not a complete audit of this organization.
What remains uncertain
Programs differ in evidence and cost effectiveness. Deworm the World is a historical GiveWell review, not a current top-charity designation.
