USAID Improves Performance, Accountability Reporting
USAID moved up 12 places, to ninth, in the Mercatus rankings
of federal agency performance and accountability reporting
for FY 2004.
Moving from 21st place in FY 2003, USAID improved its overall
score, surpassing 12 other federal agencies in one year, and
placing the Agency in the top 10 for the first time since
FY 2000.
The 1993 Government Performance and Results Act requires
agencies to issue annual reports on goals and performance.
The Mercatus Center, an independent research and education
organization located at George Mason University, evaluates
major federal departments and agencies on the fullness and
accuracy of their disclosures.
Rating criteria include leadership, transparency, and public
benefit.
USAID was the most improved agency from FY 2003 to 2004,”
said David Simpson, senior program analyst with the Bureau
for Policy and Program Coordination and co-chair of the performance
and accountability report core team.
“We were also recognized in four different areas as
being among the strongest scores.”
The departments of Labor, State, Transportation, and Veterans
Affairs had the highest rated reports, while Defense, Homeland
Security, and the Office of Personnel Management ranked lowest.
