How We Assess Performance
Five-Tiered Methodology
The Agency is committed to utilizing the funds it receives from taxpayers through Congress to produce successful results. To do this, USAID employs the programming structure depicted in the pyramid to the left. Each layer represents a more detailed breakout of the programs USAID implements. USAID employs performance indicators in several layers. At levels covered by the Joint State-USAID Strategic Plan, outcome level indicators are used to measure progress towards joint goals. At the USAID operating unit level, individual indicators tailored to the mission specific development context are used to monitor progress. At the program component level, common indicators across operating units are used to measure Agency performance.

As a result of the Joint State-USAID Strategic Plan, USAID now focuses its work around eight strategic goals that capture the breadth of its bureau, mission, and specific responsibilities. The adoption of these new strategic goals has helped to streamline the Agency’s reporting structure and is being integrated into strategic management reforms discussed previously. The eight strategic goals are centered on three core strategic objectives from the Joint State-USAID Strategic Plan:
- Achieve Peace and Security
- Advance Sustainable Development and Global Interests
- Strengthen Diplomatic and Program Capabilities
