CGD's weekly Global Prosperity Wonkcast, event videos, whiteboard talks, slides, and more.
In this video, the the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network presents their “New Day, New Way: U.S. Foreign Assistance for the 21st Century” report to a standing-room-only audience of policy makers, NGOs and nonprofits.
The U.S. Foreign Assistance Act -- a cornerstone of America’s support for global development -- is so badly out of date that it would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic, writes Lawrence MacDonald, CGD director of communications and policy.

A new YouTube video from CGD’s Global Development Matters initiative helps make the case.
