Program Data Sheet 940-003 CENTRAL OPERATING UNIT: Bureau for Economic Growth, Agriculture, and Trade: Office of Program Development and Strategic Planning (EGAT/PDSP) PROGRAM TITLE: Program Development STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE AND NUMBER: Program Development and Learning (PD&L) Activity, 940-003 STATUS: Continuing PLANNED FY 2002 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: $10,149,000 DA PROPOSED FY 2003 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: $13,634,000 DA INITIAL OBLIGATION: FY 2001      ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: Continuing Summary: Through this activity, the Bureau is able to fund new special projects and pilot program initiatives; design, support and evaluate programs; develop knowledge-sharing technologies to enhance USAID staff and contractor effectiveness in implementing programs; and expand information technology-based systems that foster improved real-time communications via intranet and extranet. Inputs, Outputs and Activities: This program is used to fund studies, analyses and evaluative work for purposes of assessing, designing and learning efforts. Activities also facilitate the knowledge management functions of the bureau by enabling it to develop and disseminate lessons learned, strategic approaches and applied research results. For the most part, these types of activities required by operating units within the Bureau will be planned for, funded and carried out within the framework of an existing strategic objective. However, in some cases, this is not possible. For example, studies or analyses needed to develop a new operating unit strategy or to establish a new objective that does not yet exist would be funded by this activity. Performance and Results: This is a new activity for which results are not yet available. These activities will provide valuable information and data to support the Agency's 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 programs, as well as provide analytical support to USAID presence and non-presence country programs. PD&L funded activities include: identification and funding for 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; analysis and evaluation 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. Principal Contractors, Grantees or Agencies: The grantees, contractors and implementing agencies are determined after specific tasks are identified.
