The following chart provides preliminary USAID performance
results for FY 2005, arrayed by strategic and performance
goal from the Joint State-USAID Strategic Plan. These results
are preliminary because at this stage they were collected
from USAID’s operating bureaus and field missions prior
to completion of the standard Annual Report (AR) data collection
and validation process. In the traditional USAID data collection/validation
process for performance results, which is contained in the
Agency’s ARD, annual performance results are typically
not available until the mid to late-December timeframe. This
makes it necessary to estimate performance results data; however,
data estimation is an accepted practice when reporting data
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the PAR. The
estimated data must be verifiable, complete, reliable, comparable,
and consistent, and the methodology used to estimate the data
must be well documented. Acceptable methods for data estimation
include: (1) expert opinion, (2) historical trends, (3) extrapolation,
and (4) sampling and statistics. The preliminary performance
results specified below are the result of expert opinion and
an analysis of historical trends, based on many years of experience
monitoring the results of the particular indicator and target
in question. For more information on acceptable USAID data
estimation methods, please refer to Appendix C in the full
FY 2005 PAR.
The Summary of Performance Results table below is
a summarization of the indictors and performance information
that is presented in the Performance Section of the full FY 2005
PAR. This table groups indictors by their strategic goal,
then by performance goal, and then by program goal. Furthermore,
the table presents the rating of the indicator and states
whether the indicator met its target, exceeded its target,
or if the target was not met. For greater details about performance
please refer to the Performance Section in the full FY 2005 PAR.
