Subquestions I’d probably want to answer if I were trying to figure this out from scratch (not sure how much Givewell has covered already, haven’t read much of Lanrian’s links), include:
A. What countries have significant malaria problems?
B. What countries have had significant anti-malaria aid?
In countries listed in A, what locally-founded organizations (for-profit, non-profit, or government-sponsored) have existed to address malaria?
Can we get data on how those companies/orgs have grown or shrunk in spending as foreign aid has grown.
One reason this might not be a correct track is that general ecosystem of aid may have already distorted things by the time you got to malaria programs. So it might also be useful to look into local orgs treating similar health issues that also received foreign aid in the past century.
