International Development

Finding better ways for the United States and its local and international partners to build peaceful and functioning societies in weak and war-torn states.

The Project on Prosperity and Development (PPD), studies the central role of the private sector, private actors, and emerging actors in development with the U.S. Government. The Project on U.S. Leadership in Development builds on CSIS’ ongoing work in trade, governance, and economic development in areas of conflict and post-conflict. The Global Food Security Project provides guidance to policy makers to ensure that U.S. foreign assistance and agricultural development programs are sustainable, efficient, and effective. CSIS seeks to renew the discourse around international development in Washington and develop a fresh, actionable set of policy recommendations that address current challenges.
