| 1640593097980628992 | Humanitarian groups usually provide aid after disaster strikes. @GiveDirectly is among the organizations trying to upend the traditional aid model by providing people with cash before disasters occur instead of waiting to do so weeks or months after. https://t.co/zfpij7COOP | 2 |

| 1638977284706037762 | JRF (fuck it, let's tag @jrf_uk) need to explain why they aren't just giving people money. How will this programme do better than cash transfers? How will it save lives? If they can't, they should give it all to @GiveDirectly. Thanks for reading, donate effectively, do better | 32 |

| 1640278843767287809 | Sad this ends up being (primarily) yet another publicity stunt for @GiveDirectly when so many others have been doing/perfecting this for a while- including GVMT-run programs (beyond scaling, most anticipatory of all, as per #socialprotection core function) https://t.co/qTzK8u4KIc | 13 |
