that works for America.
International assistance for the 21st century.
Economic development that delivers for Americans.
The Consensus for Development Reform is a platform of leading conservative and private sector voices for more effective U.S. global leadership through reforming and improving our approach to global development.
CDR is founded on the belief that America is a force for good in the world, and that reformed, more innovative, and more accountable foreign assistance will yield better results for those we help and will more faithfully serve U.S. national interests.
CDR’s participants are a select group of conservative thought-leaders and policy experts, including former members of Congress, senior Administration officials, and private sector leaders who share a common commitment to U.S. leadership in global development and improvement of our foreign assistance’s effectiveness.
CDR advocates for America-first solutions to build a better international assistance framework—for the United States and those we uplift.
CDR participants believe in...
We must commit to identify and reinforce what works and quit doing what doesn’t, regularly and systematically determining which aid programs are delivering real results and advancing strategic objectives.
Private sector-led economic growth is the only sustainable solution to global poverty, and our foreign policy must place it at the center of our global development strategy.
Our assistance must help build partner country self-sufficiency, fostering institutions that are democratic, accountable, and ultimately replace aid.
Our humanitarian commitment to the most vulnerable and threatened has been a cornerstone of the United States’ global leadership for more than 70 years, demonstrating to the world that Americans are generous, innovative, and able to mobilize global action.

"I first came to Congress more than a decade ago to shock the system—a mandate to find and eliminate every possible cent of government excess that failed to deliver value to the economic and national security of the United States. At the very top of my list was foreign aid, which I considered a reckless extravagance that blew precious American tax dollars on vanity projects. I was wrong."
"If the United States wants to contain the growth of Chinese investment and influence in Latin America, it must take the lead in offering alternatives that are consistent with our values, reflect our historic ties to the region, and can drive economic growth."
