UNITED NATIONS - / MaximsNews Network / - 25 January 2007 -- The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace announced today that leading poverty and development expert Eduardo Zepeda has joined its Trade, Equity, and Development Program as a senior associate.

Zepeda, an expert on the economies of Brazil, Kenya, and Mexico, will focus his work at the Endowment on global trade negotiations and their implications for developing regions and countries. In particular, his research will address policies of poverty eradication, such as boosting employment and promoting other income-generating activities.

Zepeda comes to Carnegie from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), where he will continue to serve as a policy advisor to the Bureau for Development Policy’s Poverty Group. He has served in the Office of the President in Mexico as the economic and social policy coordinator in the Unit of Analysis, and was a fellow at the Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies at the University of California, San Diego.

Sandra Polaski, director of the Trade, Equity, and Development Program, welcoming the Program’s new addition, said:

“The Trade, Equity, and Development Program is very pleased to welcome Eduardo. His research will enable Carnegie to look at the links between trade policies and other policies that could improve the impact of globalization for households and workers, especially in developing and poor countries. By exploring these relationships more deeply, we expect to be able to offer broader packages of substantive policy solutions to governments and publics.”

Zepeda said:

“I am very excited to be joining the Carnegie Endowment at a time when their NEW VISION is truly engendering cooperation and collaboration at all levels—between individuals, between organizations, between countries. I embrace the opportunity to stimulate the dialogue on critical issues of poverty and economic development.”
