We are delighted to announce this year’s recipient of the SID-US Award for Outstanding Leadership in International Development: US Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA 13th District).

Congresswoman Lee has been a long-standing champion for international development and has advanced the sector through her work advocating for the world’s most vulnerable populations. She has served in the US Congress for 24 years and is the highest ranking African American woman in Democratic Leadership, serving as Co-Chair of the Policy and Steering Committee. Congresswoman Lee has long advocated for legislative action to end poverty and has also been a fierce advocate for ending HIV and ensuring an AIDS-free generation. She was instrumental in the legislative frameworks for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, as well as legislation establishing a USAID special advisor for orphans and vulnerable children.
