The Center for Global Development website reports on Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s development speech, hosted by CGD and delivered yesterday in a packed auditorium at the Peterson Institute in DC. The summary of the speech includes key excerpts, as well as opening remarks from CGD President Nancy Birdsall. CGD writes:
“Seasoned observers in the standing-room-only audience of development professionals said afterwards that the speech was the most detailed and forceful on development by a top U.S. official in many years. This reflected, they said, both Secretary Clinton’s personal interest in global poverty reduction the Obama administration’s broad commitment to elevate development policy issues.”
