Performance Summary

Summary of USAID FY 2006 Performance Ratings

During FY 2006, USAID and the Department of State closely reviewed and significantly reduced the number of indicators used to track performance. A joint State-USAID team of performance analysts reviewed the indicator set published in the FY 2006 Joint Performance Plan, and in consultation with program managers, replaced weak indicators and imprecise targets with measures that better track progress toward highest-level outcomes and strategic goals. As a result, the number of indicators against which the Department of State and USAID are reporting in the FY 2006 PAR was reduced from 286 to 129 and of these 129 indicators, 35 are managed by USAID.

The following pie chart shows the ratings distribution for these 35 USAID performance indicators, reported across all strategic goals.

As shown, 74 percent of the ratings were “On Target”, “Above Target” or “Significantly Above Target,” meaning that these initiatives or programs met or exceeded performance targets.
