Join us for the latest event in our series exploring the practicalities of working with USAID. This event will offer members the opportunity to hear from USAID colleagues about the USAID Policy Framework and the processes of advancing Country Development Cooperation Strategies (CDCSs).
Our speakers will present the USAID Policy Framework, which lays out USAID’s collective vision for international development, looks to translate U.S. national security and foreign policy goals into Agency priorities, and promotes coherence among USAID’s development, humanitarian, and crisis-response policies and implementation work. Internally, it serves as a basis for strategy, programming, budget, and operational planning for USAID staff; whereas for partners, it sets the USAID objectives and how to achieve them.
Subsequently, this policy framework informs the writing of USAID’s Country Development Cooperation Strategies (CDCSs). During the CDCS development process, Country Missions collaborate with USAID HQ to set overarching priorities and sectoral focus. They also decide upon the engagement with local stakeholders and present required deliverables in each phase of the process. This process takes up to two years and the details of the strategy are available only upon final publication. The CDCSs, once developed, define a high-level Goal for the country supported by Development Objectives (DOs). Joshua Kaufman will talk about how USAID helps their Missions to integrate policies into these strategies and colleagues from USAID will offer insight into the development process of these strategies, which determine the development programmes in each country.
