Secretary Clinton announces new development initiative: Quadrennial Development and Diplomacy Review
US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton, announced a new strategy for diplomacy and development in an effort to conduct, for the first time, a Quadrennial Development and Diplomacy Review (QDDR).
The QDDR will require the State Department and USAID to align their resources as well as their policies, identify shortfalls in capacity, and undertake necessary institutional changes.
The quadrennial review hopes to pave the way for the advancement of US foreign policy objectives in a more coordinated, comprehensive and cohesive fashion.
