U.S. Dept. of State and USAID Joint Strategy FY 2022 - 2026
“These steps will help us build a more inclusive Agency, one that is more diverse and willing to engage with new partners, more equitable in its impact, and more responsive to local voices. USAID’s legacy as the world’s leading bilateral development institution has always been an asset to the American people and a means for securing stability, security, and prosperity, both at home and abroad. This Joint Strategic Plan acknowledges and draws strength from this heritage to take on the challenges of today and prepare for those that will come tomorrow.”
President’s Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience (PREPARE)
In response to a severe and urgent crisis, the President of the United States of America is announcing the President’s Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience (PREPARE) to support developing countries and communities in vulnerable situations around the world in their efforts to adapt to and manage the impacts of climate change.

U.S. Government Global Food Security Strategy
The updated Global Food Security Strategy is our roadmap to that better future. It charts an ambitious course to reduce global poverty, hunger, and malnutrition in the face of COVID-19, climate change, growing conflict, and rising inequality through Feed the Future, the U.S. government’s (USG) global hunger and food-security initiative. It brings America’s full strength to bear on these challenges by drawing on the expertise of agencies across the U.S. government. Through this strategy, we aim to contribute toward a 20% reduction in poverty and stunting in the areas where we work between 2022-2026 by partnering with foreign governments, the private sector, and our colleagues across the interagency.
USAID Climate Ready Knowledge Products: Business Continuity Planning Resources
This collection of resources will build your awareness on: The concepts of disaster readiness and business continuity for business; and The key steps for a business to become disaster ready.
Keeping Supply Chain Workers Safe During a Pandemic
Trained human resources are the most valuable asset in the supply chain.
Use of Containers for Temporary Emergency Storage (English, French, Portuguese & Spanish)
During emergencies, backloading multiple months of medicines and other public health commodities as close to patients as possible can minimize supply chain disruption and maintain patient access.
Tips to Optimize Storage During Emergencies (English, French, Portuguese & Spanish)
Adequate and efficient storage of commodities is critical for efficient supply management. Commodities must be easily visible, organized for efficient throughput, and stored appropriately to prevent damage and expiry.
Actions to Take Now to Ensure Routine Supplies Are Available
As resources like fuel, access to vehicles, and healthy staff become scarcer, health systems’ abilities to provide routine health care will be ever more challenged. Vigilance is critical to securing business operations in affected regions.
Questions to Consider to Maintain Routine Supply of Public Health Commodities and Support COVID-19 Response
To help ensure continuity of supply for all public health commodities while also supporting COVID-19 response, review this series of questions – by functional area – that highlight factors to consider.
Policy Summary: The Nexus of Fragility and Climate Risks
The research, summarized here, does not seek to establish a causal relationship between climate exposure and instability. Instead, it identifies the locations where fragility and climate risks cooccur around the world. It assesses key global fragility and climate patterns and country-specific risks to assess how these dynamics may coalesce to foster instability, strain state capacity, and undermine human security. Since places with compound fragility-climate risks may be more vulnerable to governance failures and other crises that foster humanitarian emergencies or instability, understanding their distinct fragility and climate challenges could present opportunities and focal points for intervention and risk management.

Follow the Water: Emerging Issues of Climate Change and Conflict in Peru
This study explores how the effects of climate change on water quantity, quality, and access may be factoring into aspects of localized instability, fragility, and conflict in Peru. To help guide the methodological approach, FESS developed a seven-phase framework—the Climate Change and Conflict Assessment Framework (CCCAF). The framework emphasizes one of the main conclusions of recent conflict analysis: conflict is always the result of the interactions of multiple political, economic, social, historical, and cultural factors, and these must be taken into account in any analysis. Moreover, the quality of governance and the resilience of political, economic, and social institutions all mediate the relationship between environmental change and conflict in important ways. The influence of climate change and climate-related policy and program responses on instability and conflict can only be understood within this web of relationships.
