    Description

    For too long, United States government development efforts have worked at cross purposes with the very people who are trying to lead lasting change in poor countries. For at least two decades, US assistance has been rightly derided as opaque, supply driven, and not focused on delivering the results that people in poor countries say they need.

    Current US reform efforts intend to allow countries to lead in their own development. Oxfam's inquiry shows that local development leaders are noticing—and valuing the change. However, the US government must accelerate and deepen these reforms if it hopes to meet the expectations of people in developing countries.

    To find out how recent reforms, in particular Implementation and Procurement Reform, Country Development and Cooperation Strategies, Feed the Future and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, are  changing US foreign assistance, Oxfam America interviewed and surveyed people involved in US development efforts—both Americans and other stakeholders—in seven countries (Bangladesh, Ghana, Malawi, Peru, the Philippines, Rwanda, and Senegal) over the summer and fall of 2012.

    The export button (to the right?) will allow you to export the search results of the entered query to a CSV file. To export the items, click the "Export" button.

    There are two options to select the items you want to export to a CSV. Either you export all results from a search query, or you select a subset of items from the search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" in the Export menu.

    After making a selection, click the 'CSV' button. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to 'CSV'.

    The amount of items you can export is limited, but authenticating will increase this limit.
