Long Description for the "USAID Programming Hierarchy" Diagram
The Agency uses a five level hierarchy of programming categories of information. Each level represents a more detailed breakout of the programs USAID implements. At the highest level are the strategic objectives, below which and providing increasingly more detail, are the strategic goals, performance goals, operating unit strategic objective, and program components. USAID employs performance indicators in several levels. 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.
