In the video below, Charlie Rose interviews Dambisa Moyo, Jacqueline Novogratz, and Peter Singer on the “idea of aid” and their opinions on what works in aid.
Focusing on the second interview with Jacqueline Novogratz, she is the founder of Acumen Fund and author of the new book “The Blue Sweater: Bridging the Gap Between Rich and Poor in an Interconnected World”. The book is a refreshing perspective on international development and an inspiring read. As Jacqueline chronicles the last 25 years of her experiences in development, she lends a unique business-minded perspective and level of accountability to the development work she does. Jacqueline’s story, compassion and dedication are inspiring. Just as inspiring are the stories she tells so well about the incredible people she has met along the way in India, Pakistan, and throughout Africa, as well as her experience working in Rwanda before the genocide and coming back to meet some of her friends who survived.To read more about the book and buy it online, click here to go to Amazon.com.
