Reuters quotes CGD senior fellow Steve Radelet on the future of U.S. foreign assistance under the Obama administration.
From the article:
"Steve Radelet, a senior fellow at Washington's Center for Global Development, said the Obama administration could address the operational problems and effectiveness of the U.S. development agency even if funding was tight.
'With the financial crisis, resources are going to be difficult to come by for everybody, but that does strengthen the case for streamlining and making every dollar for foreign assistance more efficient and building a strong professional agency,' Radelet said."
