Unveiling the 2025 Global Fragility Act: A Comprehensive Progress Report for Congress

Today, the White House presented the initial biennial report to Congress regarding the execution of the Global Fragility Act (GFA) and its related U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability (SPCPS), concentrating on the priority nations of Haiti, Libya, Mozambique, Papua New Guinea, and the Coastal West African countries of Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, and Togo. 

The U.S. administration has progressed the objectives of this bipartisan statute, established during the preceding government, via innovative comprehensive government involvement. It has utilized lessons learned to enhance the efficacy of U.S. investments and stimulated structural transformations that strengthen national and local abilities to thwart violent conflict and instability.

The prosperity and safety of America rely on peaceful, self-sufficient economic and security associates.  As a fundamental aspect of this initiative, the U.S. administration has sought more organized cooperation with our bilateral allies and multilateral organizations and invested in joint programming and funding systems to fulfill common objectives.  These crucial alliances enable the United States to more effectively tackle intricate challenges that endanger U.S. interests worldwide.  

Since the enactment of the GFA in 2019, the U.S. administration has dedicated resources to enhance resilience with our partners and to operate more strategically and competently.  These resources aid in shifting results toward tranquility and stability in a world marked by increasingly complex, persistent, and frequent conflicts.  Over the upcoming years, with ongoing leadership and alignment of diplomatic, developmental, and defense assets, the U.S. administration will strengthen key partnerships, adjust based on insights gained, and refine the approach for more effective U.S. involvement in conflict prevention and stabilization.
