Whole of Government Approach to Global Response: Streamlining Contingency Response Via Mission-Based Budgeting

Abstract

This paper discusses the possibility of using a fund similar to the Global Security Contingency Fund to force a top down whole of government approach to Phase 0 and Phase 4/5 (Shaping and Stability) operations in unstable countries. This approach, called mission-based budgeting, sets funds aside for a specific mission and assigns a lead agent with the authority to task other departments and agencies in order to craft a governmental wide solution to bolster unstable countries or assist with post-conflict reconstruction. Currently both the Department of Defense and the State Department are unable to individually conduct this mission, and due to current restrictions on funding and authorities, neither department is able to effectively lead a whole of government response.
