Event: A New Direction for USAID-At Home and Abroad

March 10, 2009 ~ Matt Armstrong

A New Direction for USAID-At Home and Abroad

This 2nd forum in a series on Defense Development, and Diplomacy will look at the proposed Cabinet-level development agency, and the new pathways the Obama administration might pursue to increase collaboration and cooperation between the Development community and the various arms of the U.S. foreign policy establishment. What are the right solutions to the bureaucratic roadblocks? How could these changes ultimately lead to better structures and better-implemented foreign policy? What are the challenges in appropriating more money in Congress for USAID?

When: Today, March 10, 2009, from 9a – 10:30a (too late to RSVP)

Where: Nitze Building, Kenney Auditorium (1st Floor),  School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), Johns Hopkins University, 1740 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20036

ABOUT THIS FORUM

Since 1999, the Conflict Prevention and Resolution Forum (CPRF) has provided a monthly platform in Washington for highlighting innovative and constructive methods of conflict resolution. CPRF’s goals are to (1) provide information from a wide variety of perspectives; (2) explore possible solutions to complex conflicts; and (3) provide a secure venue for stakeholders from various disciplines to engage in cross-sector and multi-track problem-solving. The CPRF is co-sponsored by a consortium of organizations that specialize in conflict resolution and/or public policy formulation.
