Despite major increases in development aid in recent years, some of the most important global challenges - AIDS, hunger, education - remain intractable. Some innovative approaches have started to show success, but questions remain about how foreign aid can be more effectively coupled with advances in technology, know-how and enterprise.

2) What innovative approaches achieve holistic and synergistic results, and how can they be scaled up?
3) What forms of non-cash contributions make a difference?
