Summary

From a bureaucratic backwater in the waning days of the Cold War, the fight against global poverty has become one of the hottest tickets on the global agenda-with rock stars, world leaders, and newly minted billionaires calling attention to the plight of the poor. The cozy, all-of-a-kind club of rich country officials who for decades dominated the development agenda has given way to mega-philanthropists, new bilateral donors, "celanthropists," and supercharged advocacy networks vying to solve the world's toughest problems. Global Development 2.0 celebrates this transformative trend within international aid and offers lessons to ensure that this wave of generosity yields lasting and widespread improvements to the lives and prospects of the world's poorest people.
