The Challenge
Challenges impacting OTI activities include changing U.S. foreign policy priorities, increasing levels of collaboration, and demands for OTI to serve in key roles in complex emergencies. Most acute challenges presented by changes in foreign policy are designing programs which incorporate U.S. priorities in difficult democracies or fragile states and programming in the context of shifting geographic foci. Addressing terrorism has also become a significant component and has resulted in policy shifts. Collaboration with missions, donors and other governmental agencies has become increasingly more critical. During FY 2004 through FY 2006, OTI has participated actively in Iraq reconstruction using funds provided through the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF).

Multilateral: OTI coordinates with multilateral donors.
