Academic Year 2012 - 2013
Under the guidance of IDEV leadership and faculty, the Development Roundtable provides a forum for informed discussion of major issues facing the development community today. The biweekly event gives speakers the opportunity to address the challenges of global development assistance and to suggest new initiatives that will improve the field. For more than a dozen years, the annual series has hosted influential speakers at the lunchtime hour before a diverse audience comprised of the SAIS community and representatives from the academic, policy and government sectors.
