The American Academy of Diplomacy published a ground-breaking study to detail specifically what human and financial resources the State Department and USAID need to accomplish their missions. This report provides a budget the administration can use to strengthen American diplomacy. AAD is also engaged in a nation-wide outreach campaign to advocate the report's recommendations.

About the Academy
The Academy was founded in 1983 by Ambassadors
Ellsworth Bunker, U. Alexis Johnson, and John J. McCloy to explore
ways in which persons who had served in positions of major responsibility
could cooperate to promote the highest standards in the practice
of American diplomacy. Today, the Academy is dedicated to strengthening
the resources and tools America brings to managing its diplomatic
challenges, and accomplishes this through outreach programs, lectures,
awards, and writing competitions. In doing so, the Academy promotes
an understanding of the importance of diplomacy to serving our nation
and enhancing America’s standing in the world. |
