Strategic Leadership Program Overview The NATO Partnership Action Plan on Defense Institution Building (PAP-DIB) strives to reinforce efforts by Partner countries to reform and restructure their defense institutions to meet domestic needs as well as international commitments. Many Partner countries are just beginning this long and difficult process, often with scarce resources and limited experience. As a response, the PAP-BID is now in place to assist Partners in carrying out these reforms, many of which start with institutional leadership. The following workshops are a sample of some of the efforts being coordinated by the USPTC Program Office in support of Defense Institution Building at the strategic leadership level:
