V. Performance Analysis
PERFORMANCE TRENDS. Performance under the President’s Emergency Program for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) continued the favorable trend to prevent the spread of AIDS in particularly vulnerable countries and treat those afflicted with the illness. The percentage of the world’s population with access to tuberculosis care and treatment continued its steady multiyear upward trend. There was also sustained progress toward more effective implementation of treaties and agreements on natural resources management.
HIGH-LEVEL RESULTS. The Department and USAID continued making progress toward PEPFAR’s five-year goals of supporting treatment for 2 million people infected with HIV, prevention of 7 million new HIV infections, and care for 10 million people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS, including orphans and vulnerable children. Sustained commitment to working bilaterally and with multilateral organizations strengthened cooperation on international environmental issues such as marine species management and biodiversity conservation.
RESULTS SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE OR SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW TARGET. The effectiveness of USAID-sponsored higher education and workforce development programs was evaluated using preliminary data, and was significantly below target. USAID will review this indicator when final performance data is received.
KEY INITIATIVES AND PROGRAMS. In FY 2006, the Department and USAID continued to demonstrate leadership and commitment to the U.S. Government’s social and environmental goals. For example, $1.58 billion was programmed for child survival and health initiatives, $2.5 billion was set aside for HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment programs, $365 million was allocated for basic education activities, and $200 million was made available for drinking water supply projects, including $50 million for programs in Africa.
