“Cost-effectiveness analysis: a data-driven approach to doing more good with less” by EmilyMcNair

TL;DR: As global challenges grow more complex and resources more constrained, the question is no longer just how much we can do, but how can we feasibly save the most impactful components of lifesaving and lifechanging programming. The social sector has always had to grapple with constrained resources, but the recent seismic shifts in the funding environment are exerting new pressure on changemakers. Leaders are facing difficult tradeoffs: which programs to continue, which to adapt, and how to continue supporting and serving vulnerable communities. Funders are equally grappling with decisions on which effective programs are at risk and could benefit from an infusion of capital to continue delivering life-saving interventions. IDinsight's cost-effectiveness approach is a framework that enables organizations to optimize their impact with constrained resources. Our strategy goes beyond simply cutting costs. We incorporate a cost lens into design and implementation to continuously improve the efficiency of program delivery. Drawing on our 15 years of global experience as a trusted data, evidence, and AI for good advisor to the sector, IDinsight's cost analysis methodology is built around hands-on collaboration and practical, data-driven tools that equip leaders of both large institutions and smaller nonprofits to make evidence-based resource choices [...] ---Outline:(01:46) IDinsight's cost-effectiveness services(03:45) Proven results and continuous improvement(04:02) What we can do with your support:(07:18) About IDinsight --- First published: November 21st, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/pAoggTQvdA9BoCvAn/cost-effectiveness-analysis-a-data-driven-approach-to-doing --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.
