Dean's Forum on Global Affairs—"The Future of International Aid: Reforming a System Under Strain"

Tuesday, October 14, 2025 4:00–5:00 PM
  • Location
  • Description
    David Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, will deliver a lecture in the auditorium of the Hesburgh Center for International Studies.
    The international aid system is facing unprecedented pressures. Rising global risks, shifting geopolitical dynamics and reduced funding have left aid efforts increasingly stretched, particularly in the world’s most fragile and conflict-affected regions.
    Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee and former UK Foreign Secretary, will explore these challenges and the need for a focused reform agenda. He will examine how aid can concentrate on the areas of greatest need, foster efficiency and innovation and continue its essential mission of combating extreme poverty and alleviating human suffering even in the face of tighter budgets.
    This event is in partnership with the Keough School’s Pulte Institute for Global Development.
