About the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network

The Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network (MFAN) is a diverse coalition composed of international development practitioners, development institutions, think tanks, and the private sector that advocates for more effective U.S. foreign assistance. MFAN was created to build upon the bipartisan consensus that the U.S. should play a global leadership role in achieving economic growth, reducing poverty and promoting locally-led development, and that the U.S. can play that role more effectively, efficiently, and transparently.
