Center for U.S. Global Leadership

The Center for U.S. Global Leadership works to create an environment in which policymakers and opinion leaders recognize that U.S. investments in development and diplomacy are cornerstones of an effective U.S. foreign policy. Its goals over the next 18 months are to ensure that recently announced reforms result in a stronger U.S. development program and to protect resources in the international affairs budget that will allow civilian agencies-primarily the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development-to do their work effectively. The Center promotes these goals by creating a broad consensus among representatives of the diplomatic, defense, and development communities.
