TESTIMONAL: Linda McGinnis, Lead Economist, Children and Youth Human Development Network, The World Bank
"ICP's invaluable input into both the World Development Report 2007, entitled 'Development and the Next Generation', as well as into key analytical pieces sponsored by the Children and Youth network of World Bank have stimulated new thinking about policy and programmatic options for investing in this important - and often underserved - constituency. Your global experience has facilitated the transmission of lessons learned from experience in OECD countries to developing country contexts, and have generated interest both among policymakers and development practitioners alike."
