PROGRAM: Central Programs TITLE AND NUMBER: Program Development and Learning (PD&L) Activity, 940-003 STATUS: New PLANNED FY 2001 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: $1,084,000 DA PROPOSED FY 2002 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: $1,074,000 DA INITIAL OBLIGATION: FY 2001; ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: Continuing
Summary: Through this activity, USAID's Global Bureau funds studies, analyses and evaluative work for purposes of assessing, designing and learning efforts. For the most part, these type of activities required by Global Bureau operating units will be planned for, funded and carried out within the framework of an existing strategic objective or special objective. However, in some cases, this is not possible. For example, studies and analyses needed to develop a new operating unit strategy, to establish a new objective that does not yet exist or to evaluate a completed objective would be funded by this activity. In other cases, it is too cumbersome and less efficient to include a particular program development activity within the construct of a single objective. Therefore, an operating unit might use this activity to access technical assistance for work covering multiple strategic objectives or work that is regional and worldwide in scope.
Key Results: Global Bureau PD&L activities will provide valuable information and data to support the Agency's four priority areas and to enhance the Agency's new strategic orientation paradigm. PD&L activities will facilitate cross-border and regional analyses, studies and evaluative work to define and refine program activities, as well as provide analytical support to USAID presence and non-presence country programs.
Performance and Prospects: PD&L funded activities could include:
- Identification of new opportunities for development assistance;
- Development of new strategies or revision of existing strategies;
- Identification and integration of cross-cutting themes into operating unit programs to enhance complementarity among strategic objectives and overall program synergy;
- Identification of more effective mechanisms to implement programs;
- Research and development, including pilot activities to determine the feasibility of proposed initiatives;
- Analysis of performance, problems and lessons learned;
- Identification of trends that have regional and worldwide implications;
- Analysis of regional, sub-regional and cross-border issues; and
- Increased integration of U.S. government assistance provided bilaterally or multilaterally.
Possible Adjustments to Plans: PD&L activities are short-term and determined on an annual basis. Adjustments are made on the basis of current priorities and demands.
Other Donor Programs: Where appropriate, these funds would be used to conduct studies, analyses or evaluative work that could leverage other donor investments or promote donor coordination.
Principal Contractors, Grantees or Agencies: The grantees, contractors and implementing agencies are determined after specific tasks are identified.
Selected Performance Measures: Not applicable.
