IGD’s policy brief, Building a Better World: A New Global Development Strategy to End Extreme Poverty (PDF, 510Kb) lays out why, in the face of so much global uncertainty and distress, we hold out hope that we can have a dramatic impact on global poverty.

The brief identifies four key areas in which the United States can and must act in the fight against global poverty.

• Investing in People: Promoting development through healthy, educated people and economic opportunity
• Investing in Countries: Supporting good governance and open political and economic systems
• Making Markets Work: Opening the global marketplace to poor countries and poor people
• New Initiatives:  Encouraging innovative approaches and public-private partnerships
