In an interview with Foreign Policy, USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah speaks "about how he is reinventing USAID, an often-embattled agency charged with helping the world's poorest countries develop, while at the same time dealing with crises around the globe," the magazine reports. Shah discusses his career path, spending oversight, "expanding public-private partnerships, and integrating development and emergency intervention," especially in relationship to food security in Africa, according to Foreign Policy.
