Progress & Data
Planning is important - but how do you know when you're succeeding?
Agency Performance Reporting
Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR) (pdf - 3.1mb)
USAID complies with the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010 (pdf) and with annually updated guidance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) by producing a series of mandated reports:
- Agency Strategic Plan (known as the joint USAID/Department of State Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review and its addendum) (pdf)
- Agency Financial Report (AFR)
- Annual Performance Report (APR)
- Summary of Performance and Financial Information
In addition to these reports, the Foreign Assistance Dashboard is a useful tool that provides additional information on U.S. Government foreign assistance funds and enables users to examine, research, and track aid investments in a standard and easy-to-understand format.
Program Evaluation
Further, with the release of the Evaluation Policy in January 2011, USAID made an ambitious commitment to quality program evaluation - the systematic collection and analysis of information and evidence about program performance and impact.
Nearly all final USAID program evaluations, along with other program documents, are published on a public online database called the USAID Development Experience Clearinghouse (DEC). Learn more about the DEC or access it directly.
Additional Reports
USAID provides a number of additional reports to Congress on performance; they may be viewed here.
