Interesting notes for meetings on Capitol Hill

Posted by: CARE on May 5, 2009 at 4:53PM EST

I just sat through an info-session on the need to update US Foreign Assistance at the CARE National Convention. The speakers from Oxfam, Women Thrive Worldwide, and the Center for Global Development were energetic, informative and quite intriguing.

I didn’t know that the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 has not been updated since…1961! I also didn’t know that there are 20 different US agencies that provide financial aid. This has given me a lot to think about and discuss at my meetings on Capitol Hill tomorrow. I am going to ask my members of Congress to co-sponsor the Initiating Foreign Assistance Reform Act.
