What it reported doing in 2024

Policy and advocacy: afp's major accomplishments in 2024 for advocating for policies, laws and funding include: 1. Leading the global fragility act (gfa) coalition to ensure robust implementation of the law, resulting in the u.s. Government's first report to congress on gfa implementationrequired by lawspecifically mentioning the impact of the gfa coalition. 2. Leading afp's prevention and protection working group (ppwg) and securing a long overdue determination by the u.s. Government that members of the rapid support forces (rsf) and allied militias have committed genocide in sudan. 3. Securing mutual integration of the prevention-oriented canon of law across the gfa, elie wiesel genocide and atrocities prevention act, and the women, peace, and security act. Afp continued to achieve notable successes in advancing the integration of the u.s. Prevention-oriented canon of lawthe global fragility act (gfa), the elie wiesel genocide and atrocities prevention act (ewgapa), and the women, peace, and security (wps) act. Afp continued to colead the gfa coalition with mercy corps, a coalition of over 350 members that serves as the u.s. Government's go-to civil society partner. Throughout the year, afp convened a series of consultations to assess and provide recommendations on successful gfa operationalization. The first report to congress required under the law specifically mentioned the impact of the gfa coalition. 2024 marked the second year of afp's leadership of the prevention and protection working group (ppwg), a coalition dedicated to improving u.s. Government policies and civilian capacities to avert and respond to mass atrocities and protect civilians, which grew by over 100 members during the year. Afp brokered monthly consultations between ppwg and u.s. Government officials on a range of topics, such as sudan. Afp also convened a series of consultations before and after the release of the administration's annual report to congress on ewgapa implementation, as well as presented the group's written assessment of the report to the interagency atrocity prevention task force. Notably, the 2024 report included dozens of recommendations submitted by afp and ppwg in 2023. Afp was thrilled to see the inclusion of the "integration of atrocity prevention in u.s. Strategies" section in the 2024 report released in july, as it was one of the top recommendations identified in the assessment of the 2023 report drafted by afp. The 2024 report also includes specific subsections on atrocity prevention integration concerning the wps act and strategy and the gfa and strategy to prevent conflict and promote stability. Afp continued to update our calls to action on ukraine and the conflict in israel-palestine. In january 2025, after significant education from afp, the state department issued a long overdue determination that members of the rapid support forces (rsf) and allied militias have committed genocide in sudan. In 2024, afp elevated the wps agenda and advanced its integration within the u.s.'s prevention- oriented canon of law and other policies. Afp maintained its leadership position within the u.s. Civil society working group on wps and spearheaded consultations with and the development of community recommendations for USAID, the department of state, the department of defense, and the department of homeland security to ensure prevention is centered and that gfa and atrocity prevention principles are integrated into their agency-specific plans to operationalize the updated u.s. Wps strategy (october 2023). Verbatim language from our recommendations incorporated into each plan, released in january 2025. Additionally, afp's acting deputy director, megan corrado, received the una-nca's perdita houston human rights award for her outstanding work advocating for human rights and elevating wps in all policies, programs, and objectives.
