V. Performance Analysis
Performance Trends. There have been
a number of significant trends under the Regional Stability goal. One trend
is the steady increase since FY 2003 in the percentage of U.S. trained African
units deployed to peace support/humanitarian response operations. Another trend
is the decrease in the number of foreign military officers participating in
International Military Education and Training (IMET) programs from FY 2003 to
FY 2006, attributable in part to fewer training opportunities available for
foreign military officers due to military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A final notable trend is USAID’s positive results in supporting local peace-building initiatives, conflict sensitivity training and conflict mitigation-focused media campaigns. USAID’s grassroots approach has advanced USG efforts toward peace and regional stability.
High-Level Results. The Department
and USAID made demonstrable progress toward desired regional stability outcomes,
including promoting strong and effective ties with transatlantic allies, augmenting
interoperability with NATO forces, obtaining Chinese cooperation on regional
stability matters, and building the capacity of African forces deployed to peace
support and humanitarian response operations. USAID results on conflict management
and mitigation programs showed progress is being made on local levels to advance
peace processes around the world.
Results Significantly Above or Significantly Below Target. USAID significantly exceeded targets for peacebuilding and
conflict resolution activities worldwide. However, the indicator that tracks
the implementation of the Adapted Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty
was rated significantly below target. Implementation of the CFE remains stalled
as the standoff between Russia and NATO states continues over Russia’s failure to withdraw military forces from Moldova and Georgia.
KEY INITIATIVES AND PROGRAMS. For
FY 2006, Congress appropriated $86.7 million to the Department of State for
international military education and training, $4.5 billion for foreign military
financing, and more than $1.2 billion to fund international peacekeeping operations.
