V. Performance Analysis
PERFORMANCE TRENDS. Three significant trends under the Humanitarian Response Strategic Goal are worthy of note. First, U.S. humanitarian assistance programs are achieving and sustaining progress on protecting the nutritional status and humanitarian needs of refugees, victims of conflict and Internally Displaced Persons, especially young children. Second, the international donor community is taking on a larger share of total contributions to the World Food Program as a result of USG efforts to promote burden sharing among our international partners. Third, U.S. mine action programs are providing the training and assistance countries need to become self-sufficient in carrying out demining activities that clear land of dangerous mines, alleviate suffering and restore confidence in public safety.
HIGH-LEVEL RESULTS. The Department and USAID made demonstrable progress toward high-level outcomes such as carrying out humanitarian demining operations, monitoring the nutritional status of vulnerable children, and increasing capacity of partner nations to detect and respond to natural or human-made disasters.
RESULTS SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE OR SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW TARGET. There were no results rated significantly above or significantly below target under this Strategic Goal.
KEY INITIATIVES AND PROGRAMS. Significant FY 2006 investments to address the human costs of displacement, conflict, and natural disasters include $791 million for migration and refugee protection and assistance programs, and $356 million for international disaster relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction assistance. The core focus of refugee program resources is to provide protection, assistance and durable solutions, including refugee resettlement, and to promote sound migration management. International disaster and famine assistance provides support and relief to victims of natural and man-made disasters, as well as funds famine and prevention relief activities.
