"There are many ways to improve the world, but their cost-effectiveness varies immensely. You can achieve a lot more if you rely on the best data on where to donate." Thank you to Max Roser and Our World in Data for recognizing GiveWell's Top Charities as "concrete, real-life examples of [an] Extraordinary Charity." Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gG2cN9Se

Eliminating #malaria is a #GlobalHealth priority. To achieve this, innovation is key. We must continue to optimise existing tools and approaches while also developing new solutions. 🦟This #WorldMosquitoDay, Helen Hawkings, Malaria Consortium's Senior Social and Behaviour Change Specialist, shines a spotlight on seven critical areas that are driving progress towards a malaria-free world.

This week, GiveWell employees Erin, Katie, and Karthik sampled oral rehydration solution (ORS) in our Oakland office. ORS saves lives by preventing diarrhea deaths, which is a leading cause of death for children under five.

🙌 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.

We're excited to partner with Malaria Consortium and The Behavioural Insights Team on the "Be In A Net" program - read more about the project on our newly published grant page. ⬇ https://lnkd.in/eTkuW5z4
The use of insecticide-treated nets (#ITNs) is one of the most effective #vectorcontrol methods, and key to reducing #malariatransmission🦟 Yet ITN usage can be low, even when communities have access to nets. That’s why we’re pleased to be partnering with The Behavioural Insights Team (supported by philanthropic funding via GiveWell) to investigate the reasons behind the low uptake of ITNs in Nigeria and Uganda, where fewer than 59 percent of the population sleep under ITNs regularly. Using these data, we aim to create a behaviourally informed intervention and work towards a future where communities are better protected from #malaria.💪 Read our project brief here ➡️ https://brnw.ch/21wLCaJ
