PURPOSE:


The Bureau of Public Affairs (PA) supports U.S. foreign policy goals and objectives, advances national interests, and enhances national security by informing and influencing global public opinion about American interaction with the rest of the world, and by informing domestic audiences about U.S. foreign policy priorities. Through proactive interaction with foreign and domestic press, digital engagement, and domestic outreach, PA seeks to advance and amplify the Department’s top priorities, including: renewing American leadership while transforming and elevating diplomacy and development, including through the implementation and execution of the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR); promoting mobile communications and innovation; linking coalition diplomacy and coalition messaging to expand the reach and effectiveness of our messaging on various issues. The Bureau is charged with assisting with the implementation of all of the Secretary’s priorities as they shift to meet a changing world, while utilizing tools that enable greater and faster reach. For various projects and programmatic efforts, PA is using various research methods (i.e. surveys) to further garage non-government populations' feedback to further our ability to amplify the Secretary's message and evaluate our impact.
