Forward Global
Project Title
To strengthen conflict prevention and peace through informed U.S. policy implementation
Date
Jun. 04, 2026
Duration
12 months
Description
There is a critical gap between Congressional goals and implementation realities of U.S. foreign assistance as a tool for conflict prevention, which limits its effectiveness in reducing global instability. To address this gap, Aid on the Hill-Education (AOTH), holding fiscal sponsorship through Forward Global, will deliver timely, nonpartisan, and practitioner-led analysis to educate policymakers on how appropriated funds support conflict prevention and peace. Established in February 2025, AOTH is a 700-member professional association that educates policymakers and the public on U.S. foreign assistance as a pillar of peace and prosperity. Carnegie’s support will allow AOTH to provide policymakers with analytical products including case studies, budget updates, and staff education forums on how international assistance serves as a tool for global stability during congressional oversight periods. AOTH’s 12-month grant will equip an overstretched Congress with the practitioner-led analysis necessary to optimize foreign assistance as an instrument for conflict prevention and peace.
