Evidence Action is an American non-profit organization founded in 2013 that scales cost-effective development interventions with rigorous evidence supporting their efficacy.[1][2] The organization operates four main programs: the Deworm the World Initiative, Safe Water Now, Equal Vitamin Access, and Syphilis-Free Start.[3] It also operates an Accelerator program, whereby new development interventions are screened and scaled according to efficacy.[4] Vox Media has described Evidence Action as taking a "VC approach to development work".[4]
Evidence Action has frequently been ranked as among the most effective charities in the world,[5][6][7] scaling programs in global health whose cost effectiveness is supported by randomized controlled trials.[1] The charity is guided by principles of effective altruism,[8][9] in particular the notion that charitable giving should be oriented towards the causes that do the most good in the world.[9][10] In 2022, the organization's revenue was US$127 million.[11]
