Carol Belamy, UNICEF's executive director, Michael Fairbanks, director of the Monitor Company, and Jeffrey D. Sachs, the director of the Harvard Institute for International Development all participated in the Keynote panel of the Fifth annual Harvard International Development Conference held at the KSG this weekend.
This conference concentrated on the theme "Sharing Responsibility: Public, Private and Civil society." Accordingly, the panel centered on ways for the public and private sectors to cooperate on issues of international development.
Today's panel began with opening remarks by one of the conference coordinators, Judith Hahn. She discussed the goals of the weekend, saying "The question that most people are asking is `What is international development and what are you going to do with it?'"
Bellamy spoke first, saying that for more than half a century the United Nations had worked to pursue international development and related issues.
Sachs, who is also Stone professor of international trade, also discussed many humanitarian problems in third world countries. He described the situation in South Africa as unimaginable, highlighting a growing AIDS epidemic in that region.
