Never before has the world experienced such significant progress in human development, and at the same time seen such rapid and unpredictable changes in the forces that affect it.  

The U.S. Agency for International Development and its partners are embracing and evolving with these changes in order to be effective in supporting sustaining development by creating the space in which to evaluate and better understand key development trends is essential to adapt to the rapid transformations in the development landscape.

Engaging with the smartest, most innovative and experienced thought-leaders and practitioners around the world; seizing pivotal opportunities to leave behind generational legacies of success. 

We call this effort Frontiers in Development.
