Our Work

A bipartisan coalition representing international development and foreign policy practitioners and policy experts, MFAN is a widely respected thought leader, convener, advocate, and trusted resource for policymakers on both sides of the aisle.

Our Impact

Since our creation in 2008, MFAN has been a steady, clear, and unifying voice in Washington in advancing foreign assistance effectiveness reforms, regardless of the changing landscape or political leadership in Congress and the White House.

About Us

MFAN is a bipartisan reform coalition composed of international development and foreign policy practitioners, policy advocates, and experts from the U.S. and Global South. MFAN believes that U.S. development and humanitarian assistance are key instruments for America’s influence, strength, peace, and prosperity.

Our Issues

MFAN supports a model of development that prioritizes accountability and evidence of impact and that gives greater voice, resources, and power over decision-making to local actors, who are best placed to deliver sustained results from U.S. taxpayer investments.
