I have a strong interest in global development and is currently up-skilling in global economics/business admin. I spend my spare time doing EA community building and animal advocacy. I currently organise EA KNUST and lead a volunteer-run org called Animal Welfare League. I love art and watching art documentaries.

Always inspiring learning about your transparency.
Do you think your evaluation model (when fully developed) could be used by us [Animal Welfare League] to evaluate our volunteer program. Three of our volunteers have now been accepted into your training program and others ( university students) are starting university clubs?
I think this is clearly an interesting project and I’ll be watching your next steps.
My query has to do with environmental and cultural challenges the operationalization of this project might face. To be specific, certain water bodies have cultural importance to community members and some are sacred in most countries across Africa, hence considered “untouchable” or not to be tempted with. This problem may it be, would be aggravated by the low formal education level that might challenge “the destruction of their sacred waters”.
I want to inquire if your team have considered this and the possible way outs.
I am intrigued about the elimination of malaria probably due to my first hand experience of the disease, so kindly let me how I can help especially with the African pilots.
Thanks for this information Jamie. Could you elaborate more on the regranting opportunities. A few advocates and myself are becoming more convinced a regranting program for farm animal welfare research in Africa is crucial for the growth of the effective animal advocacy in Africa (currently sparse and ~ less than 5 reports/papers are published annually). We have a few ideas about how to go about this but will be open to discussing it with a grantmaker.
