We're hiring a Program Manager for Pakistan!

Globally, lead toxicity kills 1.6 million/year, most in lower income countries. Acting on this is one of the world’s best buys for both health and education. By eliminating lead in consumer goods like house paint, spices and cosmetics, we can pave the way for a #LeadFreeFuture.

We're hiring! Come work with us!!
New research by LEEP and the Malawi Bureau of Standards has found a significant decrease in lead paint levels in Malawi. The estimated market share of brands selling lead paint for home use has reduced from approximately 67% in 2021 to 24% in 2023. leadelimination.org/malawi-follow-…
One in three children has lead poisoning and it's totally preventable — Thanks @robertwiblin for having me on the pod to talk about this and our work at @LeadElimination! 80000hours.org/podcast/episod…
“Lead poisoning constitutes a global health crisis that has been 'extraordinarily neglected' by donors and political leaders” Great piece by @JesseCopelyn on the @CGDev Lead Working Group final statement theguardian.com/global-develop…
Today @CGDev releases the final statement of our Working Group on Lead Poisoning, signed by 26 leading experts and practitioners. In it, we call on world leaders to end childhood lead poisoning by 2040--and outline why it matters and how it can happen. cgdev.org/publication/ca…
This week I'm interviewing Lucia Coulter, co-Founder of the Lead Exposure Elimination Project, which has had amazing success getting lead out of paint in the developing world. What should I ask her? leadelimination.org
Nafisatou Cissé, LEEP Program Manager and Team Leader, writes that bringing awareness and resources to global lead poisoning at a level commensurate with the problem’s scale would result in hundreds of millions of children living healthier, happier lives.

One of my favourite things that we launched this week is Causal University: docs.causal.app 🤩 It's our new documentation site with professionally produced video series. We previously hosted our docs on GitBook/Notion, but finally decided to go fully bespoke 🧵 (1/5)
🎤 Very pleased to announce Causal 2.0: Modern Financial Planning for Startups Causal is powerful but always had a steep learning curve. We spent the last 6 months re-thinking this — you can now get value in ~2 mins, and become a power-user over time. Here's how we did it 👇
Y Combinator is turning 20 next year — We painstakingly gathered data on 4,500 YC companies and crunched the numbers in Causal to see how YC's been doing over the last 2 decades. Check it out 👇 go.causal.app/ycombinator
We are looking for candidates who have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, are committed to LEEP’s mission, and are driven and creative problem-solvers. Please share this opportunity in your networks, and apply here: leadelimination.org/jobs/
This person will be responsible for managing the successful delivery of the steps of our paint program in Pakistan, as well as developing and implementing our new programs on spices and cosmetics there.

This was the most inspiring podcast I listened to last year. 80000hours.org/podcast/episod… @luciacoulter speaking to @robertwiblin about how her team successfully reduces the incredibly harmful lead pollution that many children are exposed to.
This morning @rsilv_dc @luciacoulter and I talked to the health and education teams at the @FCDOGovUK about lead poisoning, and why it should be a top tier development challenge. Here are our @CGDev slides! docs.google.com/presentation/d…
Since everyone is talking about lead these days, you can get up to speed here: 80000hours.org/podcast/episod…
Very happy that my book made it onto the Sunday Times Bestseller list this week! It looks at 7 of our big environmental problems & how to solve them. These problems are massive. Urgent. But solvable. It's a critical decade for us to take action.
Globally, lead toxicity kills 1.6 million/year, most in lower income countries. Acting on this is one of the world’s best buys for both health and education. By eliminating lead in consumer goods like house paint, spices and cosmetics, we can pave the way for a #LeadFreeFuture.
Join us in tackling a once in a generation opportunity to build a lead-free future–for cheap.
I couldn’t be more thrilled. Huge kudos to small-but-mighty community of doers who have been working to raise the salience of lead remediation in global health/education/development. @PureEarthNow @CGDev @LeadElimination among others.
Big news from Davos today! @PowerUSAID announced that the US Govt wants to make the world lead-free. Here's a new @CGDev blog explaining why that's a big deal and how we can make it happen with @rsilv_dc @leecrawfurd @JustinSandefur @RoryTodd cgdev.org/blog/us-govern…

Great to see USAID taking on lead poisoning worldwide — a neglected, tractable, high-impact problem. Kudos to @leannajoon, @GawandeUSAID and others at AID for elevating the issue.
In low and middle income countries, 1 in every 2 children has elevated levels of lead in their blood. This is an enormous threat to public health – but a problem that we can take action to address right now. Tune in @ 9am EST tomorrow for more. #WEF24 weforum.org/events/world-e…
