As part of USAID’s Fall Semester, we will host an online book club for our readers this fall. Each week, the Impact Blog will post a suggestion from our senior experts at USAID to suggest a book on important issues in international development.
We’ll provide you and your book club with the reading suggestions and discussion questions, and you tell us what you think! Our fall reading list will explore solutions to the most pressing global challenges in international development—mobile solutions, poverty, hunger, health, economic growth, and agriculture.
These topics range from global economic history and world-changing science discoveries to strategies that help companies succeed in developing world markets:
