Transitions at global development's top posts

Last November, the new European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker started office. Christos Stylianides took the helm from Kristalina Georgieva — now the vice president for budget and human resources — as commissioner for humanitarian aid and crisis management, while Neven Mimica became commissioner for international cooperation and development.

This month, Rajiv Shah is expected to vacate his post as U.S. Agency for International Development administrator. Deputy Administrator Alfonso Lenhardt will serve as acting administrator until a permanent replacement is nominated and confirmed. Nancy Lindborg has also left as USAID assistant administrator to serve as president of the U.S. Institute for Peace.

Next month, Valerie Amos will leave the top post at the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
