This is: CE alert: 2 new interventions for February-March 2024 Incubation Program, published by CE on August 17, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum.TLDR: In this post, we announce additional top charity interventions we want to start through our upcoming February-March 2024 Incubation Program. Applications are now open!We've added two new exciting ideas to the pool of interventions we want to see started through our February 5 - March 31, 2024 Incubation Program. This increases the number of interventions to 6, and we're really hoping you help us get them founded (by applying or sharing the information with friends and colleagues who they might be a good fit for). We're now seeking founders for:1) An organization focused on bringing new, counterfactual funding into the animal advocacy movement.2) An organization providing teacher guides and other aspects of structured pedagogy to improve education outcomes in low-income countries.Before we go into the detailed descriptions, here is a reminder of the previously announced top ideas for this program: 3) Childhood vaccination reminders4) Mass media to prevent violence against women5) Influencing EU fish welfare policy through strategic work in Greece6) Influencing key stakeholders of the emerging insect industryYou can read more about them here.If you could plausibly see yourself excited to launch one of our top interventions, we encourage you to apply. For most ideas, no particular previous experience is necessary and participants report getting more excited about the ideas while working on them throughout the Incubation Program. In the program, we provide two months of cost-covered training to help you get all the knowledge and skills you need to launch an impact-focus organization. As usual, we provide stipends, funding up to $200,000, operational support in your first months, a co-working space at our CE office in London, ongoing mentorship, and access to a community of alumni, funders, and experts. Learn more on the CE Incubation Program page.The deadline for applications is September 30, 2023.To be brief, we have sacrificed nuance, the details of our considerable uncertainties, and the potential risks discussed in the extended reports. Full reports will be published on our website in the upcoming weeks.One-Sentence SummariesFundraising for animal advocacyAn organization focused on bringing new, counterfactual funding into the animal advocacy movement.Structured PedagogyAn organization providing teacher guides and other aspects of structured pedagogy to improve education outcomes in low-income countries.One-Paragraph SummariesFundraising for animal issuesFunding is expected to be a key bottleneck in the effective animal advocacy movement going forward. We predict that the pool of available money for animal advocacy is unlikely to grow in the next few years and could even shrink. We're concerned that funders may neglect more exploratory work and certain regions (e.g., Africa) due to limited resources. A new organization focused on fundraising could work to close this funding gap. There are multiple promising approaches in the space, including a giving pledge (like Giving What We Can) targeted at vegans or influencing high-net-worth individuals (HNWI) in promising geographies like India or the US.Structured pedagogyAcross many low-income countries, the quality of education is poor. Many children leave school without basic reading, writing, and numeracy skills. A new charity can improve the quality of teaching by providing structured teacher guides alongside training and coaching on their usage. Structured pedagogy is an evidence-based, cost-effective intervention deemed a "great buy" in global development. We estimate this intervention to have a benefit-cost ratio of 30:1.More Detailed SummariesFundraisin...
