Post-Publication Emergency Redactions
A Mandatory Reference for ADS Chapter 579
New Edition Date: 04/13/2023
Responsible Office: M/CIO
File Name: 579mad_041323
Overview
This mandatory reference addresses the challenges of implementing aid transparency mandates when conditions change such that the continued publication of certain information could potentially endanger USAID’s staff, partners, and program participants. The process by which USAID initiates such emergency redactions is the Post Publication Emergency Redaction (PPER) process. The PPER process is initiated when USAID has already publicly disseminated information, but extraordinary circumstances require USAID to conduct a post-publication emergency redaction of that information.
