It’s that time of year again: Obama administration political appointees are starting to think about their next move — and some are already making them.
Nancy Lindborg, the U.S. Agency for International Development assistant administrator for democracy, conflict and humanitarian assistance who has been in the nation’s emergency response spotlight of late, will be the next president of the United States Institute of Peace.
In her current role, which she will continue through the end of the year, Lindborg coordinates USAID’s response to international crises, including the Ebola disease outbreak in West Africa, the humanitarian crises in Syria and Iraq, and conflict-induced food insecurity in South Sudan.
