Yesterday’s Global Development Outlook panel at the World Economic Forum included William H. Gates III, David Cameron, Ban Ki-moon, Paul Polman, Helene D. Gayle, H.M. Queen Rania Al Abdullah of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and Rwanda President Paul Kagame.

You can watch the full panel on the World Economic Forum web site.

We tweeted throughout the panel and also kept up with tweets from the #wefdevoutlook hashtag. Here are some that caught our attention.
