Bill > HR7036

This bill, known as the Data Driven Diplomacy Act, aims to improve how the Department of State understands and engages with global audiences by requiring increased collaboration between two key offices. Specifically, the Assistant Secretary for Global Public Affairs, who is responsible for public diplomacy and international communication efforts, will formally request the Office of Opinion Research, which is part of the Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), to conduct surveys. These surveys will provide crucial insights into cultural contexts, identify specific groups of people the U.S. is trying to reach (target audiences), and track changing public views about the United States and its interests in areas where U.S.-funded media already operates or might operate in the future, thereby enabling more effective and informed diplomatic strategies.
