Global health and development

Abstract

The article argues that global health and development is a promising cause area in which resources can be used to make a large impact. It is argued that global poverty is a large-scale problem that is neglected compared to other causes, and that interventions in this space have a strong evidence base. The article also points out the effectiveness of interventions such as distributing insecticide-treated bednets and providing oral rehydration therapy, and discusses some of the potential benefits of unconditional cash transfers to poor people. The article also addresses some common concerns about prioritizing global health and development, such as the concern that foreign aid does not work. – AI-generated abstract
