Quoted: Clinton Global Initiative reflections


September 20, 2011
By The IRC

"Community-led development programs involve far more than a simple handout.  Instead, they empower local people to organize and make decisions about how to improve and rebuild their villages and towns, while at the same time providing them with powerful hands-on experience with democratic processes."

- International Rescue Committee president and Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) speaker George Rupp, blogging the 2010 CGI annual meeting in New York. The conference brings together world leaders, businesses and philanthropists to discuss solutions to the world's most pressing challenges.
