Rajiv Shah to be USAID Administrator?
Share
Sources are saying that the Obama administration will nominate Rajiv Shah, a medical doctor and current under secretary for research, education and economics at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to become the administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development. The announcement would end months of speculation and frustration about the still-vacant position and comes on the heels of a Senate resolution introduced by Senators Chris Dodd (D-CT), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Ben Cardin (D-MD) to empower and strengthen USAID that passed last night by unanimous consent.
We’re still waiting for the official White House announcement and will have more news then.
