Handoff: How George W. Bush Mobilized Smart Development and New Partnerships, and Its Lessons for Today's World [[link removed]]
Monday, Mar. 6 // 3–4:00 pm (ET)
When the Bush Administration came into office, it encountered a world grappling with a range of historic challenges. From HIV/AIDS and malaria impacting millions of families to extreme poverty and inequality touching countless communities, it was a world in need of new ideas and approaches. President Bush and his team, supported by bipartisan coalitions in Congress, crafted tools that not only brought new hope to the developing world, but also changed the way America and the West approached development and foreign assistance.
A panel of experts from those days will help us understand how those tools were developed, how well they worked in various settings, and what lessons they offer for today’s development challenges. Participants include former National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley, former White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten, former Deputy National Security Advisor Gary Edson, and Wilson Center President and former USAID Administrator and Ambassador to Tanzania, Mark Andrew Green.
