PERFORMANCE GOAL #1— Effective Protection, Assistance, and Durable Solutions for Refugees, Internally Displaced Persons, Conflict Victims, and Victims of Natural Disasters

Program Goal: Humanitarian Assistance

Address the humanitarian needs of refugees, victims of conflict and natural disasters, and internally displaced persons (IDP).

Performance Indicator #1: Crude Death Rates (CDR)
FY Results History	2002	USAID convened an international workshop which led to the adoption of the crude mortality rate (CMR)/crude death rate (CDR) (and nutritional status) as a common indicator for all relief organizations and agreement to develop a standardized assessment methodology. This led to international agreement to establish comprehensive shared systems to undertake global monitoring of CDR status in emergency sites.
	2003	The Complex Emergencies Database (CE-DAT) was funded by the Department of State/PRM (population, refugees, and migration) to compile data on CMR, nutrition, and other indicators. Pre-conflict baseline data were collected and established for 89 mortality survey populations in 26 countries.
	2004	CE-DAT was officially launched as an online, publicly accessible data source for mortality, morbidity, and nutrition information. In this first phase, CE-DAT focused on 8 priority countries: Afghanistan, Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, Iraq, Sierra Leone, Sudan—with detailed human indicator database established for Sudan as a priority because of the Darfur crisis.
FY 2005 Data	2005 Preliminary or Provisional Results	CDR declined or remained stable in two-thirds (2/3) of monitored sites. New baseline established: 23 percent of emergency areas are monitored, with current year data. New FY 2006 target: USAID will ensure 30 percent of emergency areas are monitored. "SMART Methodology Version 1" developed and officially rolled out at the interagency meeting hosted by UNICEF.
	Target	CDR declines or remains stable in two-thirds (2/3) of monitored sites.
	Rating	On Target
	Impact	45 emergency sites were surveyed in 15 countries. Of these, previous year data were available for 21 sites which showed that CDR declined in 68 percent of the sties and deteriorated in 31 percent of the sites. FY 2005 CDR was above the threshold of 1/10,000/day in 37 percent of the sites (compared to 40 percent of the sites in FY 2004).

Performance Indicator #2: Nutritional Status of Children Under Five Years of Age
FY Results History	2002	USAID convened an international workshop which led to the adoption of nutritional status (and CDR) as a common indicator for all relief organizations and agreement to develop a standardized assessment methodology. This led to international agreement to establish comprehensive shared systems to undertake global monitoring of nutritional status in emergency sites.
	2003	Nutrition data compiled for 67 percent of selected conflict sites with CDR data, mostly in the Africa region and countries with protracted emergencies, and Iraq and Afghanistan.
	2004	198 emergency sites surveyed in 22 countries (16 in Africa, four in Asia, one in Middle East, and one in South America).
FY 2005 Data	2005 Preliminary or Provisional Results	Nutritional status improved or remained stable in two-thirds (2/3) of monitored sites. New baseline established: 23 percent of emergency areas are monitored, with current year data. New FY 2006 target: USAID will ensure 30 percent of emergency areas are monitored. "SMART Methodology Version 1" developed and officially rolled out as the community's standardized methodology for assessing global acute malnutrition
	Target	Nutritional status improves or remains stable in two-thirds (2/3) of monitored sites.
	Rating	On Target
	Impact	163 emergency sites were surveyed in 23 countries. Where data were available (40 emergency sites), comparison of FY 2005 with FY 2004 data shows that the nutrition situation improved in 13 percent of sites, remained stable in 85 percent of sites, and deteriorated in 2 percent of sites.

Performance Indicator #3: Number of Beneficiaries Assisted by USAID (in millions)
FY Results History	2002	59.6 million beneficiaries.
	2003	73 million beneficiaries. 16,530 beneficiaries who were torture survivors.
	2004	64,083,897 beneficiaries. 14,881 beneficiaries who were torture survivors. Number of prosthetic devices distributed (baseline year): 707.
FY 2005 Data	2005 Preliminary or Provisional Results	90,000,000 beneficiaries. 18,101 beneficiaries who were torture survivors. Number of prosthetic devices distributed: 988.
	Target	The number of people served is not the best measure of the performance of humanitarian assistance. USAID does not normally set an overall target number of beneficiaries at the beginning of an emergency, because disaster situations are dynamic. New needs arise while others are alleviated, so it is very difficult if not impossible to know how many people USAID intends to serve at the outset of a given complex emergency or natural disaster. As a result, the "coverage" figure of planned vs. actual beneficiaries is not entirely reliable.
	Rating	On Target
	Impact	DCHA/OFDA relief programs reached nearly 100 million beneficiaries, providing a wide range of life-saving and preparedness services.
