Every day, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) is on the frontlines of extreme poverty and global conflict, seeking to encourage resilient, democratic societies. Its signature initiatives — including the US Global Development Lab, Feed the Future, and Power Africa — strive to serve as investments in America’s economic and national security.
As his five years of service as USAID administrator come to a close, Dr. Rajiv Shah will join the Center for American Progress and the American Enterprise Institute to reflect on the lessons he has learned, the transformation of USAID, and US leadership in global development.
