DESCRIPTION:Development progress has stalled. Trade barriers are rising\, a
 id flows have plummeted\, and private finance remains limited\, volatile\,
  and dominated by debt. Leaders must create new partnerships\, prioritize 
 impact\, and rethink how to fund productive public investments that will i
 ncrease growth\, job creation\, and life expectancy. With development fund
 ing unlikely to recover soon\, the challenge is how to drive systemic chan
 ge that delivers greater impact at scale with far fewer resources.\n\nThe 
 King Center on Global Development\, in collaboration with the Hoover Insti
 tution’s Emerging Markets Working Group\, is bringing together renowned 
 development finance leaders with insights from philanthropy\, internationa
 l financial institutions\, government\, and the private sector for the sec
 ond of a two-part event series about the future of aid\, with the discussi
 on focusing on Sub-Saharan Africa. \n\nThis event will feature:\n\nMark Su
 zman\, CEO of the Gates FoundationAmbassador Mark Green (ret)\, former Adm
 inistrator of USAID\, U.S. Ambassador to Tanzania\, and Congressman (WI-8)
    Gyude Moore\, former Liberian Minister of Public WorksVera Songwe\, Cha
 ir and Founder of the Liquidity and Sustainability Facility\, former Execu
 tive Secretary of UNECA\, and former Regional Director for Africa for the 
 World Bank\nThe program will begin with welcome remarks from Katherine Cas
 ey\, Faculty Director of the King Center on Global Development\, and RoAnn
  Costin Professor of Political Economy at the Stanford Graduate School of 
 Business. Stanford President Jonathan Levin will provide the event introdu

 nstitution\, will then lead a fireside chat with Mark Suzman\, followed by
