Global Development through Aid, Partnerships, Trade and Education

In 2010, a GRG research group joined Global Washington on collaborative project to produce a policy paper that provided specific recommendations on how to improve the effectiveness of US foreign assistance through 1) transparency and accountability, 2) consolidation and coordination, 3) local owner-ship and 4) aid targeting to reduce poverty in communities most in need. The GRG researchers provided a background review and assessment of the antiquated foreign aid system and case-study based recommendations for improvement. With GRG’s research backing them, Global Washington was able to provide Washington State senators with the proposed policy recommendations and plans.
