@GiveDirectly deprioritizes its basic income programs in favor of lump sum transfers in response to study of its 12-year #UBI experiment in Kenya: https://www.givedirectly.org/ubi-refugee-donation-options/

This is quite unexpected news to me. I will have to revisit my notes on UBI vs. basic capital schemes and reassess my position in light of this new evidence.

Updates to our basic income & refugee donation options | GiveDirectly

As we look to simplify our donation options and optimize for effectiveness, GiveDirectly will no longer be accepting donations for basic income and refugee programs through our website, and will be shifting active donations to fund our general Africa poverty relief programs.

I got side-tracked while reflecting about the side-tracking I had just realized I had been doing for a while 🙃🤦‍♂️
