Center for strategic and international studies. We really appreciate everyone coming out on this gorgeous thursday before labor day. I think this is a really important topic and really important report that we are putting out right now. I appreciate all of you taking the time out to do this. Before i give a brief summary of the report, which i hope all or most of you were able to get, it will be posted online by the way right after this event. I wanted to say a couple of thank yous. First is to the Ford Foundation that we are just completing our second year of funding with the Ford Foundation. They have been a great partner with us. Thank you to the Ford Foundation for believing in us, slightly nontraditional partner for them on this. I want to thank my coauthor, Carmen Garcia gallego who is currently in laos, working for unicef. If you are watching online, hello, carmen. And then i want to thank our panelists, who i will introduce in a minute. This is an issue that has come onto mine
