AUDIO:  Reforming U.S. Foreign Assistance
 
 

Amy Frumin, an international affairs fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and former USAID representative in Afghanistan, says Washington's approach to foreign assistance has been undermined by bureaucratic red-tape and poor coordination among government agencies. She says the next U.S. presidential administration will need to reorganize the way it delivers assistance overseas, especially in post-conflict zones.
