Meg Stringer is a freelance reporter based in Brussels, Belgium. As well as reporting on EU development, she works with NGOs, think tanks and other clients on communications and fundraising. Meg's interest in development first began in Accra, Ghana, where she wrote grant applications for a community organization during her study abroad from Hamilton College in her native upstate New York. She owes her first job out of college to her experience at a Devex career fair in Boston. Later she attended Georgetown University for a Master's in Government, giving her a solid foundation in both American and European approaches to development.
