The State Dept. (State) and the USAID implement a broad range of U.S. government activities and programs overseas, including the conduct of diplomacy, development and security assistance, and efforts to combat terrorism and narcotics trafficking, among others. The President has requested $55.7 billion for State and USAID in FY 2012, an increase of nearly 8% over FY 2010 funding levels. This testimony discusses four cross-cutting areas of U.S. foreign policy as implemented by State and USAID: (1) investments in key partner nations; (2) building the capacity of U.S. agencies to advance foreign policy priorities; (3) contractor oversight and accountability; and (4) strategic planning and performance measurement. This is a print on demand report.
