Statement by Administrator Samantha Power: On Friday, President Biden sent to Congress 10-year plans to implement the U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability with partners around the world: Haiti, Libya, Mozambique, Papua New Guinea, and the Coastal West African countries of Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, and Togo. These plans offer a roadmap, tailored to each country, of sustained, coordinated actions that will help address the root causes of conflict and build peace. USAID is eager to implement these plans in close partnership with our U.S. government partners, our partner country governments, and the local leaders and stakeholders who are best positioned to drive effective and long-term change in their communities.
