Leading voices from the global development community, including George Ingram, a senior fellow in the Global Economy and Development program, discuss the challenges facing U.S. foreign aid. These experts were all participants at the 14th annual Brookings Blum Roundtable. The experts address the role of U.S. leadership in an increasingly multipolar world, what Americans think of foreign assistance programs, ideas to reform the U.S. foreign aid architecture, and more. This is part one of a two-part series of conversations on the U.S. development assistance under challenge. Also in this episode, Andre Perry, a new Rubenstein Fellow in the Metropolitan Policy Program, stops by for our regular “Coffee Break” segment.
