Description
The report presents key considerations for decision makers when conducting overseas post closure activities, including suggestions on how to increase the closure process’s effectiveness while mitigating risk. The insights, lessons learned, and best practices captured in this review are based on the 29 interviews we conducted with Peace Corps staff who had extensive post closure experience. We identified three main areas that the agency should focus on to ensure it identifies and mitigates potential post closure risks, to include: sustaining mission success; protecting institutional reputation; and ensuring operational integrity and efficiency. Our report concludes with a consolidated set of relevant agency policies, procedures, and resource materials to support consistent implementation for future closures.
