Geeta Rao Gupta Wins 2011 Commitment to Development Award
December 8, 2011
Last night we (Center for Global Development and Foreign Policy Magazine) honored Geeta Rao Gupta with the Commitment to Development “Ideas in Action” Award. The event, a huge success, highlighted her numerous contributions to the field of gender and development. I had fun because the event brought to CGD so many of the early advocates of ensuring attention to women in development (I couldn’t resist saying it felt in a good way to me like “the old girls club”). Geeta received her award surrounded by friends and family, and gave a terrific speech (see HERE). Videos from the event can be found here: (intro, Geeta speech, panel discussion) (There were also references to Geeta’s plenary address at the 2000 International Aids Conference in Durban, South Africa, also worth reading today.)
