Caroline feels that the sector is ripe for new ideas and that international development is a key area in which the Tories can show that they are a party that cares.
Policy announcements on access to medicines and refugees have demonstrated a willingness to address the challenges facing the international community and Caroline is particularly proud of her work in ensuring that the OECD Convention on corruption and bribery was incorporated into the international development bill.
