On December 5, 2024, CGD President Emeritus Masood Ahmed delivered a keynote address at the Australasian AID Conference at the Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia. The aim of AAC2024 is to bring together researchers from across Australia, the Pacific, Asia and beyond who are working on aid and international development policy (the AID in the conference acronym) to share insights, promote collaboration, and support development within the research community.

His remarks, Development Cooperation in a Contested World, are available here.

Thank you to Charley Ward for research support and to colleagues for their feedback on earlier drafts.
