Join MFAN and the Whole Development Community for an Urgent Action: Petition the White House for a Global Development Strategy
Right now, President Obama and his senior White House advisors are preparing recommendations that will shape the future of U.S. efforts to alleviate poverty, fight disease, and create economic opportunity for the world’s poorest people. Your voice needs to be heard in this debate! Sign the first-ever development community petition asking the White House to send a strong signal about America’s commitment to development.
TO THE WHITE HOUSE:
I strongly support U.S. foreign assistance efforts that alleviate poverty, fight disease, and create opportunity in developing countries.
As General James Jones and Dr. Lawrence Summers prepare recommendations on how to deliver on President Obama’s promise to ensure that development is “established and endures as a key pillar of U.S. foreign policy,” I ask for action on one key issue:
Create a U.S. global development strategy that gives development a strong voice in foreign policy decisions and coordinates our efforts to alleviate global poverty, fight disease, and create economic opportunity.
Addressing this issue quickly will strengthen ongoing efforts across the U.S. government to make foreign assistance more effective and accountable.
