WASHINGTON, D.C. –The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) with The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) will host a major event focusing on Advances and Challenges in Political Transitions on Tuesday, October 21, 2014.

In honor of USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) 20th anniversary, this conference will feature more than 40 experts and senior officials discussing the challenges and opportunities of working in conflicts, crises, and political transitions. What will new conflicts look like, region by region? What role will extremism, organized crime, and chaotic violence play? What contributions will youth, women, the private sector, and technology make to prevention, mitigation, and recovery? And what tools, approaches, resources, and support will be needed to build more resilient societies in the coming years?
