    Listen to "What to expect from development in 2024" on Spreaker.

    This Week in Global Development is back for its first episode of the new year, and we’re taking a look ahead at what we can expect to come down the pike in 2024.  

    It’s an election year in the United States, and bipartisanship is in short supply. Many of the legislative challenges of 2023 — including those around foreign aid — have carried into January, adding more pressure to a dam that’s already strained. Meanwhile, Republican presidential hopefuls are even going so far as to call for the defunding of the United Nations. 

    Luckily, not everything comes down to funding. We also discuss the U.S. Agency for International Development’s new Locally Led Programs indicator, which sets a standard for determining whether a given program can be considered, well, locally led.

    Joining Devex President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar to break down these topics is Stefan Dercon, the former chief economist at the U.K. Department of International Development and current professor of Economic Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government, as well as Devex Managing Editor Anna Gawel.

    Welcome to 2024, and thanks for tuning in!
