Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke at USAID yesterday, highlighting plans to rebuild USAID’s capacity and technical expertise. She advanced the recently announced Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR), which is designed to advance U.S. foreign policy through cooperation between USAID and the Department of State to pursue “smart development.”  The text and video of Secretary Clinton’s request is available here.
