A growing number of research organizations like IDinsight, IPA, J-PAL, and many local and regional research groups have found that long-term partnerships with governments lay a powerful foundation for generating highly policy relevant evidence; catalyzing adoption at scale of evidence-based interventions; and building government demand and interest in using evidence and data. A recent Center for Global Development (CGD) working group highlighted the importance of these partnerships—and robust funding to support them—to ensure that policymakers realize the full potential of research and evidence to improve lives and wellbeing. But limited flexible, long-term support holds them back. In this session, speakers discuss specific case studies that demonstrate the potential high returns on investments in evidence-to-policy partnerships.Effective Altruism is a social movement dedicated to finding ways to do the most good possible, whether through charitable donations, career choices, or volunteer projects.

If we want to 'do the most good' then two fundamental - but often overlooked - questions are 'What is good?' and 'How do we measure it'? Cost-effectiveness - both inside and outside effective altruism - is assessed in terms of health, wealth, intuitive judgements, or some mix of three. In this talk, Michael will explain why a simpler, better alternative is 'subjective wellbeing', using self-reports of happiness and life satisfaction, and share the latest research from the Happier Lives Institute showing how this could and should radically alter our ideas about how to do the most good, perhaps changing our focus from alleviating poverty to treating mental health. This talk aims to introduce people to some of the ideas underlying cause prioritisation and is most relevant for those interested in global health and wellbeing.Effective Altruism is a social movement dedicated to finding ways to do the most good possible, whether through charitable donations, career choices, or volunteer projects.
