To date, the Open Philanthropy Project's policy-oriented work has focused on U.S. policy because it is easier for us to understand U.S. policy than policy in other countries, and because we believe that policy-oriented philanthropy in the U.S. offers strong opportunities for impact. However, we are also interested in eventually being able to support policy work in other countries.
In order to begin learning about policy infrastructure in both India and China, Good Ventures has decided to support the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace's work on India and China by granting it a total of $100,000 over two years. We expect that much of what we learn will not be public, but we hope to be able to share some public reflections on what we learned in the future.
We have published conversation notes with representatives from the Carnegie Endowment. They are:
- Milan Vaishnav, Associate, South Asia Program on February 27, 2014.
- Paul Haenle, Director, Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy on April 22, 2014.
