100,000 additional refugees in the US add $684 million per year to public coffers—net of all benefits they receive.

Welcoming refugees is not an economic sacrifice that we make for ethics or geopolitics. It is an economic investment.

The MDBs Are Showing Support for #Ukraine, But What Will They Do about Russia? @Morris_ScottA @CGDev https://t.co/sq6gpJVlhp

[Sarah Rose @s_e_rose]

Focus on the economic collapse as the main issue. Acknowledges that Taliban decisions are the root cause but US policy also partly responsible. “No good choices” but important to “save lives w/o empowering Taliban.” Will take “creative thinking and political courage.”

Great to see leadership from @ChrisMurphyCT hosting vital hearing on humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan https://t.co/Gi3GDNxGmw

With eyes on MCC’s unobligated balances, there could be extra pressure to streamline compact development and get money out the door expeditiously. Not a bad goal but will be important to pursue it in a way that preserves locally-led processes. /end

Great news to see that Alice Albright is confirmed as @MCCgov’s new CEO. Bringing with her some of the strongest development credentials of any MCC CEO to date, she comes to the agency at a pivotal time. 🧵on 4 big issues for MCC ⬇️ /1 https://t.co/lTkSHdyBFf

4) Country ownership: Country ownership has been central to MCC’s model since it’s founding. But MCC has also talked about the tradeoffs it sometimes faces between ensuring local leadership and moving things along quickly /12
