Deputy Administrator Isobel Coleman of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is making significant strides in advocating for democracy and climate action at the Skoll World Forum in Oxford, United Kingdom.
During her visit from April 11th to 12th, Coleman is engaging with leaders in philanthropy, the private sector, and civil society to address critical global challenges.
A focal point of her discussions includes boosting climate finance, supporting locally led development, strengthening democratic institutions, and fostering deeper partnerships in development efforts.
A highlight of the Skoll World Forum will be an event co-hosted by USAID and the Skoll Foundation, where Coleman will shed light on USAID’s Democracy Delivers Initiative.
This initiative aims to provide comprehensive support to countries undergoing promising democratic transitions, aiding reformers in delivering tangible improvements for their citizens while reinforcing democratic governance structures.
Coleman’s presence speaks of USAID’s commitment to promoting democratic values and climate resilience on the global stage. By collaborating with diverse stakeholders, she seeks to catalyze meaningful progress towards a more just, equitable, and sustainable world.
