Washington, D.C. - The U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC) has released a report urging the Biden administration to reform, not retreat from, international assistance programs. The report, titled "A Blueprint for U.S. Global Leadership," outlines ten key recommendations designed to enhance the effectiveness and impact of U.S. foreign aid.
The USGLC argues that strategic investments in global development are essential for bolstering American national security and fostering economic growth. The report emphasizes that cutting these programs would be detrimental to U.S. interests. Instead, the organization proposes reforms focused on improving accountability, transparency, and alignment with U.S. foreign policy objectives.
The recommendations include strengthening partnerships with local communities, leveraging private sector resources, and prioritizing programs that address pressing global challenges such as climate change, food security, and global health. The USGLC asserts that by implementing these reforms, the U.S. can maximize the return on its investment in foreign aid and ensure that it contributes to a more stable and prosperous world.
Liz Schrayer, President and CEO of the USGLC, stated, "Now is the time to lead not retreat. Investing in diplomacy and development is not only the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do for American families and businesses."
