Blogging the QDDR

Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network (MFAN)’s blog has launched a new series looking at the importance of the State Department’s Quadrennial Diplomacy & Development Review (QDDR). According to MFAN, “development experts from across the MFAN community will post blogs on the QDDR and the importance of transparency, civil society engagement, gender, ownership, and legislation to making U.S. foreign assistance more effective and accountable.”

Sounds good! George Ingram kicks off the series with a post entitled “Time for Hard Questions for the QDDR”. A bit wonky, but worth the read.
