WASHINGTON, D.C. - Tomorrow, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Rajiv Shah will give the keynote remarks at the University of Notre Dame’s 2014 Global Impact Forum in Washington, D.C. Dr. Shah will discuss how USAID is embracing a new model of development--harnessing science, technology, and innovation to unlock opportunity for the world’s most vulnerable people. He will highlight how this approach is embodied in USAID’s U.S. Global Development Lab, which empowers a global community of innovators to create cutting-edge development solutions. In addressing the U.S. response to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, Dr. Shah will underscore the importance of seeking new and improved tools to solve significant challenges, such as how USAID is sourcing proposals for improved personal protective equipment (PPE) in the fight against Ebola through its Fighting Ebola: A Grand Challenge for Development.
