Shah @CGD: Shared Vision for US-Africa Engagement
Success has many fathers. So too does the administration’s new vision for US-Africa engagement. At a packed CGD event with USAID administrator Rajiv Shah on President Obama’s recent trip to Africa and the new Power Africa energy initiative, CGD president Nancy Birdsall called it “the Shah vision.” Shah was quick to call it “the Obama vision.” I suspect others are applauding OPIC, MCC, and the African Development Bank, too. It’s good to see pride and shared ownership for the new effort, but who will see it through?
