March 2019: Malaria Consortium

Abstract

In March 2019, EA Funds, an organization dedicated to effective altruism, recommended a grant of $1,705,000 from the Global Health and Development Fund to Malaria Consortium’s Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) program. The decision was based on GiveWell’s recommendation, which considered Malaria Consortium’s strong track record in fighting malaria and the high impact of the SMC program in preventing malaria in children. EA Funds also considered holding some funds to investigate opportunities in public health regulation but ultimately decided to grant the funds to Malaria Consortium to ensure timely distribution. – AI-generated abstract.
