Center for Global Development : A Funny YouTube Video about Foreign Assistance?

The U.S. Foreign Assistance Act -- a cornerstone of America’s support for global development -- is so badly out of date and needs the next American president to help bring it into the 21st century.

Foreign Policy in Focus - A Think Tank Without Walls

Foreign Policy In Focus (FPIF) is a think tank for research, analysis, and action that brings together scholars, advocates, and activists who strive to make the United States a more responsible global partner. The International Relations Center (IRC) in Silver City, New Mexico and the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) in Washington, DC have jointly managed FPIF since 1996.

FPIF provides timely analysis of U.S. foreign policy and international affairs and recommends policy alternatives. We believe U.S. security and world stability are best advanced through a commitment to peace, justice and environmental protection as well as economic, political, and social rights. We advocate that diplomatic solutions, global cooperation, and grassroots participation guide foreign policy.

The Paris Declaration is an unprecedented achievement for the international donor community and the partner governments, committing themselves to key principles for aid reform. Since the aid effectiveness agenda is narrowly focused on aid management and delivery, there is little knowledge of the issue among broader circles of the development community and even more so among civil society organizations, parliaments, media and the public in general. It is often not understood that the aid effectiveness agenda actually addresses the crucial issues of reforming relationships in development cooperation and aid which are as old as official development aid itself.
