The new strategic approach also brings the planning and management of American Spaces into line with the goals of the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR) and the Public Diplomacy Framework.
The IIP Deputy Coordinator for Regional Coordination and American Spaces leads the new American Spaces strategy.
IIP coordinates with other Department bureaus (R/PPR, regional PD offices, ECA, OBO, DS, among others) as appropriate to ensure that their interests are met.
