With New Leader, Foreign Aid Program Is Taking Off [WP]

January 31, 2006

Senior fellow Steve Radelet was quoted in this Washington Post article about the new leader of the Millennium Challenge Corporation.

From the article:

"Danilovich comes to the job with certain strengths -- experience with the State Department; important private-sector experience; and management experience, which I consider crucial at this point for the organization," said Steven Radelet, a former Treasury Department official at the Center for Global Development who helped formulate the program. "But what the MCC as an organization still lacks is real strength in people with significant development experience, with deep understanding of how to improve on the practices of other aid organizations without repeating some of the mistakes that have been made in the past."
