In late January, you heard from us about a group of global development-focused NGOs across the United States who have been advocating for the U.S. to update the way it administers its development programs. This group of organizations—collectively called the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network—has gone public once again, and together with other development organizations and interested individuals, has issued an open letter to President Obama and Congress asking for quick action to make U.S. global development efforts more effective. This letter urges our President and Congress to make modernizing foreign assistance a top U.S. foreign policy priority, along with diplomacy and defense .
