Description
Recent global challenges have highlighted the need to revitalize and update the tools and processes of U.S. foreign policy bureaucracies. The innovative think tank, fp21, seeks to modernize these government institutions by helping build and support a culture of evidence-based decision-making. Rather than focusing on specific regions or topics, fp21 homes in on some of the key deficiencies in foreign policy decision-making mechanisms. Through a network of experienced governmental officials and non-governmental researchers and practitioners, fp21 leverages evidence of effective practices and deep understanding of government operations to design actionable recommendations for policy reform. Renewed support from the Corporation will help fp21 advance various strategic and operational reforms at the Department of State and in Congress, as well as further the broad dissemination of their work.
