Rating
What This Rating Means |
PERFORMING Effective
This is the highest rating a program can achieve. Programs rated Effective set ambitious goals, achieve results, are well-managed and improve efficiency.
- The program is guided by a comprehensive strategic plan. The plan outlines anticipated trajectories for reaching goals and projected milestones. The steps and targets are articulated for each of GPOI's seven objectives.
- The program is meeting its targets of training and equipping peacekeepers worldwide. The program is on the path to reach its goal of 75,000 trained peacekeepers by 2010--already having trained 15,336 troops from 33 countries and regional organizations. Because of GPOI's efforts, over 70% of the individuals trained in Africa actually deploy on United Nations or other peacekeeping operations.
- Performance data is routinely collected from field and program managers to monitor program's performance. The performance data is used by leadership at the Department of State to formulate policy. Program alterations or course-corrections, such as improving procurement processes, are implemented based on performance.
