The Future of U.S. Foreign Assistance: Effective Development and National Security

This discussion delves into the byzantine workings of the foreign aid and development apparatus of the United States. The U.S. Foreign Assistance Act, written in 1961, has not seen major reform for over three decades and the panelists discuss how aid legislation must be reworked for the realities of the present day to bring it in line with broader U.S. interests, especially national security. For further highlights on this panel, read the live blog.
