FISCAL YEAR 2011 BUDGET REQUEST FOR THE STATE DEPARTMENT WITNESS HON. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, SECRETARY OF STATE OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRWOMAN LOWEY Mrs. LOWEY. The Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs will come to order. The Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs is delighted to welcome to our subcommittee Secretary Clinton. As always, it is an honor to have you with us. Your dedicated service and tireless efforts have taken you to over 47—it is hard to believe—47 countries in just 1 year. Your hard work as our Na- tion’s chief diplomat is respected and appreciated and has had an enormous impact. After many years of decline, global attitudes about the United States are on the rise. According to the most re- cent Pew Research Center Survey, ‘‘The image of the United States has improved markedly in most parts of the world. In many coun- tries opinions of the United States are about as positive as they were at the beginning of the decade.’’ Our challenges are many, and your effective representation of the United States facilitates stronger multilateral partnerships to address global threats like instability in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, as well as Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Along with defense, diplomacy and development are essential ele- ments of our national security strategy. With this budget request, the administration seeks diplomacy and development funding lev- els that will result in longer-term savings as we transition from the military to civilians in Iraq and work to prevent instability by ad- dressing the root causes of conflict. But as we strive to foster great- er stability and security overseas through ‘‘smart power,’’ we face pressing domestic needs. While there are signs of recovery in the economy, with 10 percent unemployment, the mounting Federal debt and budget deficit, the creation of jobs and economic security for American families must be the primary focus of this Congress. There is no doubt that this will make it difficult to sustain and expand all the priorities laid out in the President’s budget request; however, I am optimistic that we can balance our domestic and international priorities. (1) VerDate Mar 15 2010 01:34 Jun 03, 2011 Jkt 066402 PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 E:\HR\OC\A402P2.XXX A402P2 jbell on DSKDVH8Z91PROD with HEARING 2 If we are to increase our assistance in this time of economic secu- rity at home, we must ensure that every dollar is well spent. And frankly, I am troubled by recent, SIGAR, SIGIR, OIG reports on democracy assistance and police training in Iraq, large power projects in Afghanistan, and development programs in FATA. The 2011 budget and 2010 supplemental requests for significant in- creases in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq require accountability to the U.S. taxpayer. Despite the difficult operating environments, to gain the trust and funding from this Congress, recommendations of the inspector generals should be implemented expeditiously. Madam Secretary, in this context we turn to the President’s fis- cal year 2011 budget request for the programs and activities within the jurisdiction of the State, Foreign Operations, and Related Pro- grams Subcommittee. At a total of $56.6 billion, it is $5.4 billion, or 11 percent, above the comparable fiscal year 2010

We congratulate the 17 countries that are commemorating the 50th anniversary of their independence this year as well as the many other African nations that have already reached this milestone and those that will do so in the near future. “President Obama and this Administration are committed to a partnership with Africa that is commensurate with Africa’s vital and growing role in the global community, and that reflects past, present, and future ties between African nations and the United States of America.

    LAUNCH OF THE INCLUSIVE GROWTH IN CITIES CAMPAIGN 29 March 2016 Ford Foundation, New York City WHO’S WHO www.oecd.org/inclusive-growth/about/inclusive-cities-campaign Supporting institutions: CitiesAlliance Cities Without Slums With special thanks to: Launch of the Inclusive Growth in Cities Campaign | Who’s Who As Secretary-General of the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) since 2006, Angel Gurría has firmly established the Organisation as a pillar of the global economic governance architecture including G7, G20 and APEC, and a reference point in the design and implementation of better policies for better lives. He has broadened OECD’s membership and inclusiveness (Chile, Slovenia, Estonia, Israel), and strengthened the links with key emerging economies. Under his watch, the OECD is leading the effort to reform the international tax system, and to improve governance frameworks in the anticorruption and other fields. He has also heralded a new growth narrative that promotes the well- being of Angel Gurría people, including women, gender and youth, and has scaled up the Secretary-General, OECD OECD contributions to the global agendas, including the Climate Agreement in Paris in 2015, and the Sustainable Development Goals. Mr. Gurría came to the OECD following a distinguished career in public service in his country, including positions as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Finance and Public Credit in the 1990s. For the first time in a generation, he steered Mexico’s economy through a change of Administration without a recurrence of the financial crises that had previously dogged such changes.

  • Senegal: Background and U.S. Relations
    Senegal: Background and U.S. Relations Alexis Arieff Analyst in African Affairs April 11, 2012 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41369 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Senegal: Background and U.S. Relations Summary Senegal, a small, semi-arid nation on West Africa’s Atlantic coast, has long been viewed as one of the region’s most stable democracies. Political trends under former President Abdoulaye Wade (in office 2000-2012) raised concerns among analysts and policymakers over possible democratic “backsliding,” particularly in connection with Wade’s attempt to win a third term in office in elections held on February 26. Popular anger over Wade’s candidacy sparked demonstrations and rioting, leading analysts to question Senegal’s stability and the potential for a free and fair vote. To many observers’ surprise, voting was peaceful, and Wade lost to opposition candidate (and former protégé) Macky Sall in a run-off vote held on March 25. Wade did not contest the results, instead calling Sall to concede. Sall was sworn in on April 2, becoming Senegal’s fourth president since independence in 1960. The election results and Wade’s concession were internationally hailed as a victory for democracy in an often troubled region. The State Department refers to U.S.-Senegalese relations as “excellent.” U.S. bilateral engagement has increased in recent years. Bilateral assistance, estimated at $98.8 million in FY2011, is focused on public health, food security, democratic governance, economic growth, rural development, and military professionalism. In addition, the United States signed a $540 million Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) compact with Senegal in 2009.
