Does the recently announced reorganization of US foreign aid -- creating a "double-hatted" USAID Administrator who now will also be a Director of Development in the Department of State -- represent a rationalization and upgrading of development aid in US foreign policy or a take-over of aid by the Department of State, risking the loss of USAID's development mission to short-term foreign policy goals? Andrew Natsios, until recently Administrator of USAID in the Bush Administration, and Carol Lancaster, former Deputy Administrator of USAID in the Clinton Administration, will debate the issue.
This event was made possible in part by funding from the The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
