It combines drug eradication, interdiction, alternative development, and rule of law programs in drug producing and transit countries to reduce the impact of the illegal drug trade in the hemisphere.

Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Adequate

This rating describes a program that needs to set more ambitious goals, achieve better results, improve accountability or strengthen its management practices.
  • The program is on track to meet or exceed its goals for reducing cocaine production and interdicting drug shipments from the Andean region. For example, in 2004, the program reduced coca cultivation by approximately 30,000 hectares.
  • The program is implementing a new financial management systemto rectify its current financial management weaknesses. The new system should allow the program to produce accurate and timely information to support resource requests and allocations.
  • The annual budget request illustrates country and major program activity, but does not explain how funding levels impact the performance of the eradication, interdiction and alternative livelihood program components. In addition, the program has still not set goals and measure for the alternative livelihood component. Greater clarity would allow funding decisions to be based more on performance.
