- Findings and recommendations
- Context of the peer review of the United States
- Political and economic context
- Development co-operation system
- A coherent whole-of-government policy
- Development co-operation is an important dimension of national security and a leading instrument of US foreign policy
- A whole-of-government development policy and refreshed institutional arrangements would provide unity of purpose to US efforts
- The 2030 Agenda provides a ready framework for the United States to agree to global development priorities and to exercise global leadership
- More effective co-ordination across and between US government agencies can achieve greater interagency coherence
- Articulating a strategic vision for US development co-operation
- Coherence between domestic policies and development objectives
- The United States is ideally placed to advance global public goods and address global challenges at home and abroad
- Opportunities exist to do more to address negative spillover effects on development and advance sustainable development globally
- Achieving policy coherence requires a strategic vision, political leadership and effective mechanisms and tools
- Fit-for-purpose development co-operation system
- The United States is a generous multilateral partner that could further leverage its partnerships in partner countries
- Establishing the Development Finance Corporation and expanding official finance instruments face some challenges.
- Most foreign aid is congressionally earmarked and directed, limiting the government's flexibility on how funds are spent
- Reconciling executive and legislative priorities with those of partner countries is complex and not helped by pre-obligation requirements and appropriations late in the fiscal year
- Matching human resources to agency needs is a work in progress
- The United States is committed to using evidence but could enhance learning through strategic evaluation and sharing knowledge across interagency members
- Localisation
- The United States has strong foundations for localisation, but needs clarity of purpose to support the ambitious vision
- Increasing local partner funding needs to be context specific and supported by a coherent strategy
- Developing a stronger country-led approach should be central to locally led development
- Locally led development changes the power dynamic of traditional approaches
- Building the evidence base for systems that support localisation should complement progress on reforming the internal incentives
- Being fit for fragility
- The United States provides substantial support to fragile contexts backed by a new set of policy priorities
- Despite the United States' stated focus on peace and conflict prevention, only humanitarian assistance is increasing and the scope of the Global Fragility Act is limited
- The United States is well prepared for crises and conflicts but is less well equipped for recovery and peace
- Regional programmes remain a challenge in practice
- The long-term development impact of sanction regimes is overlooked
