CGD senior fellow and director of programs Ruth Levine was interviewed for this article about Warren Bufett's announcement to donate the majority of his fortune to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
From the article:
Private philanthropy often works best when concentrating resources on areas ne-glected by governments. Ruth Levine, senior fellow at the Center for Global Development in Washington DC, says: “The nature of foundation resources is that they are flexible and can be committed over a long period without the same time without the political need to show results.”
