The project idea arises from the awareness that many development aid initiatives are not effectively functioning. However, there is existing knowledge on how to conduct effective interventions and make optimal institutional decisions. The project aims to answer the question: Can the academic frameworks developed by organizations aligned with Effective Altruism be applied to projects by smaller actors? What is the best way to disseminate this knowledge? This idea is envisioned as a bridge, a consultancy work connecting academic frameworks with local initiatives, with the goal of finding the best way to exchange information between them.
