Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In March 2002, President Bush proposed a 50% increase in U.S. foreign aid to countries that show they’re “ruling justly, investing in their people, and establishing economic freedom.” Kojo talks with the head of the Millennium Challenge Corporation about the Bush administration’s hands-on approach to poverty alleviation, and why Madagascar will be the first nation to receive funding.
