Yes, but that's substantially different than what happens in Effective Altruism.

There no naitve betnet production in Africa. There's no native production of deworming tablets. Those interventions are driven by actual altruism as opposed to free grain that driven by other motivations.

GiveDirectly is even better in creating local markets by providing a community with money.

There no naitve betnet production in Africa.

And what might be the reason for that?
