Extremism and internal conflict in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia challenge the United States' commitment to fostering global democracy, freedom, and free markets. The US Agency for International Development (USAID) works in these and other difficult environments to facilitate a lasting transition to stability and personal freedom. How does USAID promote and support peace building abroad, especially in conflict areas? How successful are these efforts? In a bipartisan discussion, deputy administrator of USAID and former ambassador Donald Steinberg will address the challenges the United States faces in its global peace-building operations. The conversation will address the role of the private sector in postconflict settings, the importance of women in shaping enduring peace agreements, lessons learned since 9/11, the role of development in preventing conflict, and the future of assistance in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
