Foreign Assistance for the 21st Century

The Center for Global Development, a think tank in Washington, recently launched a video petition on their YouTube channel, calling for significant changes to U.S. foreign assistance policy—which hasn’t been updated in 47 years. And as the video makes clears, the challenges of 1961 are by no means the challenges of 2008.



By leveraging the power of YouTube and concerned citizens, the CGD hopes to urge the next president to revise our current policy so that it squarely meets the demands of the 21st Century.
