Effective altruism advocacy group ] (GWWC) lists Deworm the World Initiative as a "promising" charity. The group did a case study of deworming activities in ], ] for which the initiative provided assistance. GWWC contrasts the initiative with ], another deworming charity, as follows: the initiative focuses on helping governments carry out deworming programs, rather than carrying out the deworming program itself. Therefore, it bears less of the cost, and is potentially more scalable. However, many of the programs it assists with may have occurred without its help, leading to lower impact relative to the counterfactual.<ref name=gwwc-review>{{cite web|url = https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/top-charities/deworm-world-initiative/|title = Deworm the World Initiative|accessdate = December 4, 2015}}</ref> |
