State Operations and Foreign Assistance Performance Indicators
In keeping with the Secretary’s commitment to joint Department of State and USAID planning and reporting efforts, an interagency working group selected a representative set of 101 indicators to measure the two agencies’ progress toward the seven joint strategic goals. This indicator set reflects U.S. Government foreign policy priorities and major areas of investment, and includes indicators from the Program Assessment Rating Tool assessments.
The 101 performance indicators are included in the 2009 Foreign Assistance and State Operations Congressional Budget Justification, clearly linking performance to the budget request. For more detailed information on the indicators below, please refer to the State Operations volume of the Congressional Budget Justification at http://www.state.gov/s/d/rm and the Foreign Assistance volume of the Congressional Budget Justification at http://www.usaid.gov/policy/budget/cbj2009.
