Joint regional and functional bureau strategic planning comprise the second of three stages in strategic planning at the Department of State. This stage is designed to articulate priorities within the Department’s regions and functional areas and outline specific tradeoffs necessary to bring resources into alignment with State Department/USAID goals and objectives. The FBS is also a tool used to inform budget decisions, advise Integrated Country Strategies, and shape performance reviews. If you need additional assistance or have any questions, please email the FBS Support team at FBS@state.gov.
Strategies that align with the President’s National Security Strategy are in the final stages of development and will be posted here as they are approved. Approved strategies are available for download in PDF format below.
