We're proud to support the expansion of @NewIncentives' program into Niger and Yobe states! Read more on our grant page:
📢 New Incentives is now operating in 11 states in northern Nigeria! We expanded to select areas in Niger State in December 2024 and in Yobe State in January 2025. @GiveWell estimates that operating our program in these areas is 9-12x as cost-effective as unconditional cash transfers (the benchmark for cost-effectiveness) due to low existing vaccination coverage, high expected impact from cash incentives, moderate to high mortality rates, and high efficacy of routine immunizations. As in our other operating areas, we will conduct ongoing vaccination coverage surveys to keep a pulse on our impact. Read more:

We're updating our grant deployment timelines as we enter 2025. We plan to enter each year with sufficient funds to cover our grantmaking without accounting for new donations. This will increase our financial stability and allow for better planning. More:
