In this series, Chemonics looks at the future of international development and offers recommendations to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

After a series of unprecedented shocks including the COVID-19 pandemic, humanitarian crises, armed conflict, and others, the world is falling short of achieving the 17 SDGs. With only five years left to achieve them, the global development community must come together to get back on track and lean into innovative tools and approaches that can help make up for lost time. In this series, Chemonics’ USG President Anna Slother hosts a series of conversations with leading international development experts and practitioners about accelerating progress to achieve the SDGs.
