Ambassadorial Reflections on Diplomacy, Development, and Defense

Ambassador DeLisi served in the U.S. government for 34 years as a diplomat, capping his distinguished career as Ambassador to the Republic of Uganda from 2012 to 2015. He also served as Ambassador to Nepal from 2010 to 2012, and previously as Ambassador to Eritrea, and as Deputy Chief of Mission in Botswana. He currently serves as Executive Director of the Soarway Foundation. We asked him to reflect on the intersection of diplomacy, development, and defense and on the tumultuous period in 2014 when homophobic legislation was introduced in Uganda.

Hosted by Sara Allinder. Produced by Cathryn Streifel. Edited by Ribka Gemilangsari.
