At an intimate in-person event, Professor Li Xiaoyun of China Agricultural University will discuss development learning in China-Africa engagements. As author of over 20 books and 200 papers, his work on international development and aid, participatory poverty reduction, and sustainable resource management has had extensive policy influence in China. The pioneer of “simple technology, big harvest” and “small beans, big nutrition”—a China-Tanzania poverty reduction program—he will share his extensive knowledge and thoughts on China-Africa development cooperation.
This event is co-sponsored by Georgetown University's Africa-China Initiative and the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues.
