| Center on International DevelopmentThe Center on International Development is focused on studying the work being carried out by NGO's, charitable organizations, international aid agencies, government agencies, and similar groups with the intent of offering useful suggestions for improvement. The Center develops metrics to assess the successes and failures of development policies; identifies improved policy options; and advocates for their effective, sustainable implementation. Emphasis is placed on working with those groups who contact the Center for assistance.
"International Development" encompasses a vast range of activities. The Center is currently developing a grassroots demand-based plan for rural sanitation -- a sign of inclusiveness and fulfillment of basic needs, and therefore keys to successful development and reduction of poverty. Individuals interested in health, poverty, race, economics, public policy, gender, education, scientific innovation, and similar topics will find work of interest in this Center. Projects are interdisciplinary and heavily dependent on the creativity of individuals with backgrounds in a wide array of subjects. This semester we are focused on a rural sanitation development project in Southeast Asia. Please direct your specific questions to either one of the Center’s Directors (John Cheng and Corinna Li).
