Why did Animal Rights Center Japan not receive our recommendation?
Animal Rights Center Japan’s work to improve animal welfare standards and increase engagement in animal advocacy is promising because it primarily focuses on animal groups, countries, and interventions that we consider high priority. We find their work on corporate outreach for farmed animal welfare improvements in Japan particularly likely to be impactful. For more information, see their Impact Potential spreadsheet. However, despite their impactful work, we estimate that additional funds would have more marginal impact going to our recommended charities. See 2023 Criteria Methods and Limitations for a detailed explanation of how we conduct evaluations and our 2023 Evaluation Process for information about our decision-making process. While ARCJ did not receive a recommendation from us this year, we recognize them as one of the most effective charities in their space.
Are Animal Rights Center Japan’s programs cost effective?
After analyzing the recent achievements and expenditures of Animal Rights Center Japan’s programs, we assessed their skill- and network-building achievements as particularly cost effective because they reached a high number of individuals compared to other achievements in the same intervention category. In contrast, we assessed Animal Rights Center Japan’s media outreach work as less cost effective because we had limited information about the quality and reach of the media outlets and generally assess media outreach as a lower-priority intervention.
