As the global system confronts compounding shocks—from health emergencies, to climate events, to geopolitical conflicts—international cooperation mechanisms are undergoing a fundamental shift. Amid shrinking official development assistance (ODA) allocations and a growing demand for innovative financing, development institutions must rethink how they balance immediate responsiveness with lasting impact.
Please join the Global Development Department on October 13 at 9:00 AM ET for the next episode of The Opportunity Horizon for a discussion on modernizing aid delivery and cooperation. In this episode, host Enoh T. Ebong is joined by Dr. TANAKA Akihiko, president of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), to explore how strategic partnerships, concessional lending, and country-led ownership are reshaping the future of global development. The conversation examines innovative approaches to private sector engagement and how practical, patient, and persistent strategies build enduring resilience worldwide.
This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
