One year ago CSIS convened the Executive Council on Development-a bipartisan group of leaders from government, business, nongovernmental organizations, and philanthropy-to explore how the U.S. government and private sector can work together to support the economic success of developing countries. In their final report, "Our Shared Opportunity: A Vision for Global Prosperity," the Council provides a targeted set of recommendations for the U.S. government and private sector, calling for a greater reliance on business, trade, and investment tools to achieve better development outcome.
