Join Professors Asim I. Khwaja, Director of the Harvard Center for International Development (CID), and Fatema Z. Sumar, CID Executive Director, for an engaging conversation on how to close the global "potential gap"—the space between where people are and where they could be if given the right tools and opportunities. They’ll share CID’s vision for building a thriving world for all by translating rigorous research into practical solutions that work for communities, governments, and global systems. From collaborating with policymakers to leveraging talent and data, CID is pioneering a new model of development rooted in human potential, not just poverty metrics.
What if development wasn’t just…
