More than two years after a congressionally mandated deadline, the United States government finally sent lawmakers the 10-year country plans for implementation of the Global Fragility Act, a law meant to overhaul the U.S. approach to conflict and instability.
On Friday, it also publicly released summary documents which outline “objectives” for each of the four countries and one region selected last year by the Biden administration, as well as targeted actions the U.S. government will take specific to each context.
The plans govern how the Global Fragility Act will be implemented in the locations that will serve as a pilot of the U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability.
