By the way, saving lives (which Givewell focuses on) and “alleviating global poverty” are two very different goals.
I don’t think that it’s fair to say that GiveWell only focuses on lives saved. Their reports about charities are long.
It’s just that they focus on the number of “saving lives” when they boil down the justification to short paragraphs.
