This Week in Global Development

Kamala Harris’ approach to foreign policy, and challenges to localization


Listen Later

After U.S. President Joe Biden opted not to run for reelection, his vice president, Kamala Harris, seems poised to become the official nominee of the Democratic Party. We explore how she would approach U.S. foreign policy, as well as provide an update on Project 2025. 

We also discuss our exclusive story in which we reported that the Biden administration is to resume food aid delivery in Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen, even as it exchanges fire with the Iranian-backed rebel movement. 


As USAID continues to make progress on its localization agenda, we dig into what the biggest barriers, opportunities, and avenues are to make meaningful progress and help support local communities. Even though localization is a hot topic in global development, it appears as though some countries continue to mostly fund their own NGOs due to inflexible rules and regulations.


To dig into these stories, Adva Saldinger sits down with Devex reporters Colum Lynch and Elissa Miolene for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series.
