SMART TOOLS: Integrating Security Cooperation and Foreign Assistance in a Period of Constrained Resources

Abstract

The purpose of this research project is to demonstrate why integrated and focused approaches to Department of Defense (DoD) lead security cooperation efforts and Department of State (DoS) / U.S Agency for International Development (USAID) foreign assistance programs are required to increase effectiveness and efficiency in a period of constrained resources. Research methodologies include review and analysis of national strategies, department and agency policies, doctrine, and reports, as well as independent studies and articles. Research findings demonstrate a greater need for formal interagency integration and continuous international engagement through combined security cooperation and foreign assistance efforts.
