Department of State/USAID Joint Strategic Goal Framework
Secretary of State Rice’s vision of “transformational diplomacy” requires that American diplomacy and foreign assistance function in an integrated fashion to advance our security interests, our development efforts, and our democratic ideals. The Department of State/USAID Joint Strategic Goal Framework defines the primary aims of U.S. foreign policy and development assistance as well as the strategic priorities within each of those goals for the coming years. As new priorities emerge and are identified, the framework is adjusted accordingly. The framework also functions as an analytical tool aimed at targeting U.S. Government resources efficiently and effectively within countries and at the regional and global level.
The joint strategic goals of the Department of State and USAID also integrate the vision anchored by the President’s National Security Strategy, and are described in the agencies’ Joint Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2007-2012 (http://www.state.gov/s/d/rm/rls/dosstrat/2007/).
