All members of the global health system are constantly trying to balance outcomes with cost. Some recent innovation in how aid is provided to the world's most desperately poor people is producing surprising results. A relatively new organization, Give Directly, has focused on identifying the poorest people in Kenya and then giving them a one-time gift of money with no strings attached.
The Economist has written a nice piece outlining the outcomes they have seen so far, with comparisons to other common aid structures. It is well worth the time to read it!
