USAID, in collaboration with the State Department, produces
several key materials to map development policy and track
its progress. Although USAID and the State Department are
separate organizations, both report to the Secretary of State.
Therefore, a joint effort ensures that the two organizations
focus on achieving common goals, finding economies of scale,
and promoting new synergies. Once policy direction is established,
funding resources are aligned to meet these objectives. Annual
planning at the Mission and Bureau levels follow from this
stage, as do budget submissions to Congress. The execution
of the strategic plan is reported in Department and Agency
performance plans and reports.
FY 2009 International Affairs (Function 150) Congressional Budget Justification
Each fiscal year the Agency submits its budget justification
to the Congress for appropriation. The Congressional Budget
Justification (CBJ) reflects the Administration's program
and budget request for bilateral foreign economic assistance
appropriations. The Agency's Annual Performance Overview is
an important companion document by providing the broader policy
context for specific Agency goals, indicators and funding
levels.
Agency Financial Report 2007
The U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Agency Financial Report (AFR) for FY 2007 provides financial and related information to help Congress, the President, and the public assess the Agency’s performance relative to its mission and stewardship of financial resources. It consists of the following major sections: Agency Head Message, Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), Financial Section, and Other Accompanying Information.
Joint Highlights of Performance, Budget, and Financial Information Fiscal Year 2007
This joint Highlights Report, prepared by the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), is a summary of the two agencies’ 2007 performance, budget and financial information as well as a summary of their budget requests for 2008 and 2009. The Report highlights the successes and challenges that the Department and USAID encountered in 2007 while implementing programs that support the agencies’ Joint Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2007-2012. This reporting period also marks the first year of program planning and implementation under the foreign assistance reform announced by Secretary Rice in 2006.
Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) – www.ExpectMore.gov
The PART tool was developed by the Administration to assess and improve the performance of Federal programs to achieve better results. A PART review helps identify a program’s strengths and weaknesses and informs funding and management decisions aimed at making the program more effective. Eleven USAID programs and three jointly managed with the US Department of State have undergone a PART review. The results as well as our ongoing improvement efforts are detailed in USAID’s Annual Performance Overview, the companion document to the International Affairs Congressional Budget Justification.
President’s Management Agenda (PMA) Initiatives
The PMA, which was launched in 2001, is an aggressive strategy for improving the management of the federal government focusing on key areas where management can be improved. OMB issues reports quarterly and uses a “stoplight” scorecard to show progress made by each federal agency. The Joint Highlights of Performance, Budget, and Financial Information provides USAID’s progress and status as of September 30, 2007.
