This ninety minute discussion will feature presentations by three senior managers at USAID and the Department of State who play significant and complementary roles to implement foreign assistance reform. They will provide an update on key initiatives to improve the alignment of foreign assistance policy, strategy, and resources at State and USAID, including the latest proposals to streamline Operational Plans, develop Country Assistance Strategies, enhance Mission Strategic Plans, and strengthen budget and performance integration. They will also provide an analysis of the FY 2008 Foreign Assistance appropriation and an assessment of the status and success of the foreign assistance reform effort to date.
