In September 2015, GiveWell published a report based on field investigations carried out by Jacob Kushner and Anthony Langat of the National School-Based Deworming Program conducted by the government of Kenya with technical assistance from Deworm the World Initiative. The investigations were funded by GiveWell. They cited three concerns with the program: parents' and children's concerns about side effects of the deworming medication, religious concerns, and the fact that the program did not reach students not enrolled in school. Responding to the report, GiveWell said that it did not raise any red flags for its recommendation of Deworm the World Initiative. Evidence Action also responded at length to the observations made in the report.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://blog.givewell.org/2015/09/14/journalists-report-on-deworming-program-supported-by-deworm-the-world-initiative-in-kenya/|title = Journalists report on deworming program supported by Deworm the World Initiative in Kenya|last = Heishman|first = Tyler|date = September 14, 2015|accessdate = December 4, 2015|publisher = ]}} For Evidence Action's response, see .</ref> |

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> |
