Civilian Response Corps

Smart Power In Action

 

South and Central Asia

Afghanistan

S/CRS and the Civilian Response Corps support the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and its regional commands, Provincial Reconstruction Teams and the Interagency Provincial Affairs Office. S/CRS supports strategic planning, civilian-military coordination, and implementation and assessment of U.S. efforts to build capacity in the Afghan government at the local level. Corps members also were part of an interagency task force responsible for rehabilitating Afghan insurgents for reintegration into society.

Kyrgyz Republic

Civilian Response Corps members from four U.S. agencies went to the Kyrgyz Republic to further efforts to reduce potential conflict and to support a democratic transition to a new government. After ethnic violence in June 2010 left hundreds dead and hundreds of thousands displaced, Corps members supported development of a six-month stabilization strategy, and established a temporary U.S. office in the south to assist in the coordination of humanitarian and disaster response and improve reporting from the region.

Pakistan

S/CRS and the Civilian Response Corps sent a team to Islamabad to work with the government of Pakistan, international donors, and the U.S. Embassy to develop coordinated plans for post-conflict reconstruction and stabilization in the Malakand division.

Sri Lanka

A team from S/CRS assisted the USAID mission in Colombo to develop a two-year civilian stabilization program, building on an earlier U.S. Embassy effort to bring stability and security to the country’s East as it transitions to civilian rule after 26 years of conflict. USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives assumed responsibility for implementing the project last year.
