Starting, proving, & scaling highly cost-effective interventions | Svetha Janumpalli | EAG London 23

Incentives are powerful. They have the power to change the behavior of individuals, organizations, and whole ecosystems.

In this talk, Svetha Janumpalli, the founder and CEO of New Incentives, one of four of GiveWell’s recommended charities, is talking about the power of two kinds of incentives: first, the conditional cash transfers that New Incentives is providing to caregivers to get their children vaccinated; and second, the “new incentives” in the global development sector, spurred by GiveWell and the EA community, that are nudging non-profits to focus on verifiable impact and cost-effectiveness.
