On March 30, 2017, PPD will convene a panel to discuss the various proposals to reorganize and reform U.S. soft power and development bureaus.  Over the years, lawmakers, critics, and proponents, and thought leaders have periodically suggested adjusting the structure and authorities of the various U.S. government agencies.  It is likely the new administration will seek one of the largest reorganizations in memory.

This event will focus on how to best reorganize U.S. soft power, the most important reforms, principals to guide such a reform, past failures, and the complicated political relationship between the executive and legislative branches that create an onerous and bureaucratic process resulting in structural mistrust.  Many strategies for reorganization have been proposed since the creation of USAID in 1961.  Now, our distinguished panel will discuss past reorganization attempts, how to learn from historical errors and the path toward future reforms.

We look forward to hosting you on Thursday, March 30.

NOTE: If you plan on attending the virtual webcast, an RSVP is not necessary.
