Biden transmits Global Fragility Act progress report for priority countries and Coastal West Africa

President Joe Biden sent a January 16, 2025 letter to congressional committee leaders transmitting a progress report under section 508 of the Global Fragility Act of 2019. The report covered implementation of the U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability in Haiti, Libya, Mozambique, Papua New Guinea, and the Coastal West Africa sub-region of Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, and Togo. The letter also enclosed annexes marked for official use only. The action mattered because the Global Fragility Act requires reporting to Congress on long-term conflict-prevention strategy, making this a formal oversight checkpoint for U.S. stabilization policy.
