Event Overview

Devex invites you to join us for a conversation with Congressman Ted Yoho to discuss the future of U.S. aid and the role of Congress in calling for accountability and transparency in U.S. foreign assistance, specifically following a recent call for open dialogue on the proposed changes to the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Hear Congressman Yoho, co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Effective Foreign Assistance, as he shares his view on opening up the U.S. international development arena to private sector contractors and why this will make the industry more efficient and transparent.

This conversation is part of Inside Policy, a series of Devex events aimed at addressing a growing need within the global development community for direct dialogue with policy makers to better understand a changing development landscape.
