Congress: Reauthorize the The Global Fragility Act.
The Global Fragility Act (GFA) was passed by Congress in 2019. Enactment of this bill represented a historic victory for the peacebuilding field, which long advocated for the GFA as a game-changing way forward to prevent and reduce violent conflict.
Rep. Sara Jacobs (D, CA-51) and Rep. John James (R, MI-10) have introduced bipartisan legislation to reauthorize the Global Fragility Act (H.R. 9655). The Global Fragility Reauthorization Act extends funding for the Prevention and Stabilization Fund (PSF) and the Complex Crises Fund (CCF) until 2029, enhancing efforts to stabilize conflict-affected areas and respond to emerging crises.
Rep. Jacobs emphasized the importance of proactive conflict prevention to safeguard American lives and resources, while Rep. James highlighted the necessity of supporting partners in regions facing instability, particularly in Africa. The legislation has garnered endorsements from various organizations focused on peacebuilding and humanitarian efforts, showcasing a wide consensus on the need for effective conflict resolution strategies.
