The diverse group of leaders who make up the U.S. President’s Global Development Council have a few recommendations for the next administration.
The new president should continue to emphasize the importance of global development issues and take up some of the standing proposals already on the table, they said during a final public meeting on Wednesday in Washington, D.C.
The group of 11 development leaders from different industries and backgrounds were appointed by President Barack Obama to provide advice on development policies and practices. They reflected on past progress, did a bit of praising development gains, but also looked ahead at what still needs to be done.
