GiveDirectly allows governments, foundations, and individual donors to provide direct cash transfers to people living in extreme poverty. Using the latest technology at every step, we locate recipients, integrate them into electronic payments networks, and monitor transfers end-to-end. We charge the full cost of delivering this service and nothing more.
We are looking for exceptional talent to help us build the world's most efficient, transparent and scalable system to transfer resources directly into the hands of the poor -- and in the process transform the way international development is done.
We help people find fulfilling careers that make a big positive impact.
Our career guide, 1-1 advising, and other resources can help you:
• Decide what problems to focus on
• Find and compare jobs that tackle those problems
• Enter your new role.
Our resources are based on over 10 years of research, plus advising thousands of people 1-1 on their careers. We’re a nonprofit, and you can access all our advice for free.
Global impact starts with asking the right questions: How far can a dollar go to improve a person’s health? How can we learn if our strategies are working? How can we ensure that they will continue to work?
At Evidence Action, we leverage rigorous research and iterate constantly to scale low-cost health interventions at life’s most critical stages, including pregnancy, infancy, childhood, and adolescence. We always follow the data to ensure maximum value for every dollar and maximum impact for every individual.
Our programs have reached over 515 million people by pairing proven interventions with creative new implementation models tailored to local contexts. As we mark our 10-year anniversary, we reaffirm our commitment to expanding access, improving cost-effectiveness, and utilizing evidence to inform every decision.
