The subject is how the Integrated Governance Response Program (IGRP), developed by the government of Colombia, with the support of USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives, could become a model for foreign assistance support for state reform without leaving a large footprint. CSIS evaluated the IGRP in 2009 and did a follow-up study in 2011. The findings will set the scene for a discussion of how this approach can address Colombia's ongoing security and development needs.
