In the U.S. Government (USG), USAID is uniquely positioned to address underlying conditions conducive to terrorism, and to prevent the recruitment and mobilization to violence that perpetuates this cycle. To ensure that we can effectively monitor and anticipate evolving threats, USAID must elevate its leadership in the interagency, and update and refine its internal structures, processes and approaches.
