Center for Global Development’s “Rethinking U.S. Development Policy”: Country Ownership: Rhetoric or Reality? Let’s Find Out.
Casey Dunning, senior policy analyst, and Claire McGillem, research assistant, both at CGD, discuss new research focused on examining “how USAID and MCC define, operationalize, and implement country ownership principles — both in Washington, D.C., and in the field.
