GHTC calls for elevation of science and research in international development
October 14, 2010 -- In a new entry on the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network (MFAN) blog, Kaitlin Christenson, manager of the Global Health Technologies Coalition (GHTC), calls for science, research, and innovation to be promoted and elevated in US international development efforts, including the Global Health Initiative (GHI). “Research, science, and innovation have the potential to transform societies and save lives worldwide well into the future,” Christenson writes, adding, “Investment in these efforts can help develop more sustainable approaches to health and development by placing the power to innovate in the hands of local leadership. Through presidential and congressional efforts to reform foreign assistance, it is crucial that research and innovation be integrated into strategic plans to achieve global health and development goals.” See the link below for more details.
