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 at the end of this report.
The Summary of Performance Results table below is a summarization of the indictors and performance information that will be presented in the Performance Section of this report. 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 of this report.
