The inside view: Ben Rhodes on what the US election means for global development

July 22, 2024
12 p.m. ET | 6 p.m. CET

Watch recording
For better or worse, the upcoming U.S. presidential election will have wide and rippling impacts on global development. Join Devex President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar in conversation with Ben Rhodes, one of the United States’ foremost foreign policy experts, to understand what's at stake, what the varying consequences could be for global development, and what those in the sector need to be prepared for.

Few people understand the inner foreign policy workings of the U.S. government better than Rhodes. As deputy national security adviser in the Obama administration, he was in the room where these conversations were happening. He now serves as one of the country's most-followed foreign policy commentators, as co-host of “Pod Save The World.” He is also the author of two New York Times bestsellers, most recently "After the Fall: Being American in the World We've Made,” which examines the state of democracy around the world.

USAID's localization progress report

July 25, 2024
10 a.m. ET | 4 p.m. CET

Samantha Power has made localization the flagship policy of her time at the United States Agency for International Development — and what happens at the world’s biggest bilateral donor has big implications for global development aid as a whole, leading the way for other donors. Power set ambitious targets for the agency, which haven't been met — but how far did they get? Which obstacles were cleared and what lessons can we glean for USAID’s future and other donors? And with the upcoming United States election, what happens next? Join Devex and a panel of experts as we crunch the numbers and deliver USAID’s localization progress report for the Biden administration.
