Why study development? Sussex Development Lecture delivered by Laurie Lee, Gates Foundation, 6 Dec 2012
Monday, 10 December, 2012
In this IDS Sussex Development Lecture Laurie Lee talks about the different routes into working in international development, drawing on his own personal experiences. He also examined whether development is an inherently integrated process or can progress be made on one thing at a time? Laurie Lee is the Director of Africa Global Policy and Advocacy at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Prior to his role at the Gates Foundation, Laurie was a civil servant in the British Government, mainly in the Department for International Development (DFID), in which his last position was Deputy Director and Head of the International Trade Department. He also served as Deputy Director and Foreign Policy Adviser on Africa to Prime Minister Tony Blair.
