Quote of the week: Ending hunger does not just require new seeds. It requires leaders who reform the seed sector, give women ownership of the land they tend, and unlock local capital for underserved farmers. Ensuring that every child has a light to read by at night doesn’t just require low-cost solar lanterns. It relies on leaders who build public-private partnerships that can attract investment and make large-scale power projects a reality. And strengthening democracy doesn’t just mean monitoring elections, but empowering leaders who fight corruption , encourage women to vote, and protects the rights of minorities—even when it is more expedient to play on sectarian divisions. - Rajiv Shah, USAID Administrator
