This talk by Mark Malloch-Brown, Former Deputy Secretary-General, UN, will be followed by a student-moderated panel discussion.

Mark Malloch-Brown has worked to advance human rights, justice, and development for more than four decades in a variety of roles: with the United Nations, the World Bank, and as a British government minister, as well as with a range of civil society groups and businesses. At the UN, Malloch-Brown led the global promotion of the UN Millennium Development Goals as head of the UN Development Programme (UNDP). At the UNDP, and previously as vice president of external affairs at World Bank, he led reform efforts to increase the impact of both organisations. He later served as Kofi Annan's chief of staff, and then as UN Deputy Secretary General, before joining the British government of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, as minister responsible for Africa and Asia from 2007 to 2009. Most recently, he was president of Open Society Foundations, the world's largest private funder of independent groups working for justice, democratic governance, and human rights. Mark is now serving as an external adviser to the Managing Director of the IMF and the President of the World Bank on their institutions' future.
