Debt, development finance, and global agency
In this episode of In Pursuit of Development, Dan Banik is joined by Dr. David McNair, (https://www.one.org/us/person/david-m...) Executive Director of ONE.org (https://www.one.org/). Drawing on two decades of campaigning to reduce child mortality, unlock billions for climate and sustainable development, and reform elements of the global financial architecture, McNair reflects on what has worked in the past and why some of those strategies may no longer be sufficient. The discussion explores the rise of agency in the Global South, the cost of capital facing African economies, and the growing calls to modernize global financial governance.
