Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Moderately Effective

In general, a program rated Moderately Effective has set ambitious goals and is well-managed. Moderately Effective programs likely need to improve their efficiency or address other problems in the programs' design or management in order to achieve better results.
  • The program has a clear purpose, design and sound management practices, and has made tremendous strides in achieving long-term performance goals by working with agencies to develop continuity plans.
  • The Government Accountability Office has conducted successive evaluations of continuity operations that have highlighted many successes as well as opportunities for improvement. GAO found that agencies have improved testing and training exercises, though more oversight is needed. FEMA has worked closely with Federal partners to address these recommendations.
  • Efficiency measures need to be better developed in order to improve financial management.
