Washington briefs partners on framework to counter Kremlin influence : USAID

Mark Green, the head of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), has informed Washington’s partner states and organizations on the agency’s Countering Malign Kremlin Influence (CMKI) Development Framework, the agency said.
“On Jul 4-5, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Mark Green met with representatives of partner countries and organizations during the G7 Development Ministerial and the Joint G7 Education and Development Ministerial in Paris, France … Administrator Green also discussed USAID’s development frameworks around the Countering Malign Kremlin Influence Initiative and Prosper Africa that will guide future USAID programming in Europe and Eurasia and Africa,” the agency said in a press release late on Friday.
The CMKI description, dated Jun 27, was attached to the press release.
The document outlined the areas on which the initiative is focused, particularly opposing actions to undermine the rule of law and democratic institutions, independent media outlets and energy and economic security.  (UNI)
