A Consensus View on State Department and USAID Reorganization
October 31, 2017 • 10:00 – 11:00 am EDT
Please join us for a public panel discussion on the U.S. State Department and USAID reorganization.
On October 20, 2017, the authors of six major foreign assistance reform proposals released a consensus plan for State Department and USAID redesign. CSIS was part of the consensus, having published a report on Reforming and Reorganizing U.S Foreign Assistance in July. The other reports involved in the consensus came from former USAID Administrators J. Brian Atwood and Andrew Natsios; MFAN Co-Chairs George Ingram, Tessie San Martin, and Connie Veillette; USAID's Advisory Council on Voluntary Foreign Assistance (ACVFA) Efficiency and Effectiveness in Organization Working Group; Jeremy Konyndyk and Cindy Huang of the Center for Global Development (CGD); and the Atlantic Council’s State Department Reform Report.
