USAID RDMA Mission Director Michael Yates addresses the Mobile Development Solutions Forum, Asia 2014 Forum in Bangkok
January 6, 2014

We all know science and technology are powerful drivers of social and economic change.  Mobile technology is an especially versatile and powerful tool that is changing how we interact with one another, and with our communities, our governments, and the world.

Our USAID Administrator, Dr. Rajiv Shah, has been reorienting USAID to focus more on the transformative power of science, technology, innovation and partnerships (STIP) to improve development outcomes.  And here in RDMA we also have our own Teresa Leonardo effectively encouraging us all to do the same, and broadening our horizons.

BANGKOK, THAILAND
 
Good Afternoon.
 
It is a pleasure to be here today at the Bangkok launch for Khon Kaen University’s new Center for Civil Society and Non-Profit Management. This is an historic opportunity for civic leaders to benefit from a curriculum dedicated to building the quality of managers and management systems in non-profit organizations,  throughout Thailand and the Lower Mekong region. It is also an historic opportunity for USAID in Thailand to enter into an innovative and important partnership.
