U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Joint 10-Year Plans for the U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and
Promote Stability
March 27, 2023

The following is being released jointly by the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of the
Treasury, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the U.S. Agency for International Development
(USAID).
On Friday, President Biden announced 10-year plans for implementing the U.S. Strategy to Prevent
Conflict and Promote Stability in partnership with Haiti, Libya, Mozambique, Papua New Guinea,
and Coastal West Africa, including Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, and Togo. These plans
represent a commitment to global peace and security, with the United States working alongside an
array of local partners toward shared, long-term goals of conflict prevention and peacebuilding.
The Strategy and these plans draw on lessons learned and identify innovative approaches to
support locally driven solutions, strengthen resilience, and forge a more peaceful and democratic
future. The Department of State, USAID, and the Department of Defense are working together to
facilitate greater coordination and collaboration at all levels and leveraging our respective roles to
advance diplomatic, development, security, and programmatic efforts. The Department of State
and USAID are designing flexible, adaptive programs that empower our local government, civil
society, and civilian security partners. The Department of Defense is supporting civil-military
engagement, training and equipping of partner militaries, defense institutional capacity building,
and the professionalization of security forces. The Department of the Treasury is leading
engagements with international financial institutions to coordinate our assistance in line with these
plans.
This effort builds on the vision of the bipartisan Global Fragility Act and ongoing engagement with
Congressional leaders and key stakeholders ranging from local civil society, community leaders,
academics, and the private sector. Through intensive coordination, continual assessment, and
monitoring and evaluation, together we will use these 10-year plans to address drivers of conflict
and violence collectively and to support our partner countries in pursuing peace and prosperity.
