USDFC Monitor

USDFC Monitor

The USDFC Monitor was a platform for information, reasoned analysis, practical recommendations, and evidence-based discussion of important issues that faced the United States’ new full-service development finance institution. Drawing inspiration from a similar endeavor launched by CGD to track and inform the early days of the Millennium Challenge Corporation, the USDFC Monitor aimed to provide a mix of timely commentary and in-depth analysis.

The USDFC Monitor was part of CGD’s US Development Policy initiative that seeks to broaden the US government’s approach to development while strengthening existing foreign assistance tools.
