Priority programsOrganizationNext stepConsiderations
4
Mass treatment for neglected tropical disases, cataract surgerySightsaversPublish our interim review of Sightsavers' work on deworming; ask them to proceed to phase 2 of our application process
5
Mass treatment for neglected tropical disasesCarter CenterHave requested an initial call to discuss the application process.We last considered the Carter Center for a recommendation in 2009. At that time we were impressed with its program monitoring but paused our research when we struggled to determine which programs would be supported with additional unrestricted funds.
6
Mass treatment for neglected tropical disases, cataract surgery, vitamin A supplementationHelen Keller InternationalHKI declined to participate this year
7
Iodine and folic acid fortification, vitamin A supplementation, possibly other programsMicronutrient InitiativeHave requested an initial call to discuss the application process.
8
Iron and folic acid fortificationFood Fortification InitiativeHave requested an initial call to discuss the application process.
9
Iron and folic acid fortification, possibly other programsGlobal Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN)Determine whether we have capacity to ask GAIN to apply.We have previously reviewed GAIN's work on iodine fortification. Write-up pending. Brief summary in http://blog.givewell.org/2015/11/18/our-updated-top-charities-for-giving-season-2015/ (search: "GAIN-USI")
10
Maternal and neonatal vaccinationUNICEF's Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus Elimination programWaiting on UNICEF to decide whether to participate
11
Measles and Rubella InitiativeHad a phone call
12
Other vaccination programsReached out to the International Vaccine Access Center for a conversation to discuss ways to support scaling up vaccination programs. Haven't heard back.
13
Insecticide-treated netsWe are having conversations with several major funders of nets to determine if there are opportunities to fund high-quality distributions.
14
Cataract surgeriesWe are reaching out to several groups to get a better sense of who's working on this and what that work involves.
15
Obstetric fistula surgeriesDetermine whether we have capacity to ask organizations to apply.
16
Conditional cash transfers, prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIVNew IncentivesOngoing conversations.We have made two seed grants to New Incentives. Write-up at http://www.givewell.org/international/charities/new-incentives.
17
Voluntary male circumcision, possibly other programsPSIWe have reached out to discuss voluntary male circumcision work and may discuss other programs with them as well.
18
Migration incentivesNo Lean Season (an Evidence Action program)Considering seed funding grant.
19
"Targeting the ultra poor" / graduation programsOur research so far on this type of suggests that its unlikely to be significantly (e.g., >2x) more cost-effective than cash transfers, so we likely will only ask a TUP charity to apply if we have more capacity than expected.

21
On our radar, but not currently considering for 2016:
22
Tuberculosis treatmentStop TBBased on most recent conversations and current website, donations support case finding rather than treatment.
23
Cash transfersAdesoCash transfers are less cost-effective than other priority programs.
24
VillageReachInterested in getting an update on VillageReach's progress given our history with them, but we're unlikely to have the capacity this year.

International Rescue CommitteeRecommended to us as interested in collecting rigorous evidence on its programs.
28
SplashStands out among water charities for monitoring (http://www.givewell.org/international/health/water/process). Water interventions are unlikely to be as cost-effective as our priority programs. Our review of the evidence: http://www.givewell.org/international/technical/programs/water-quality
