The 21st Century IDEA requires each federal executive branch agency to provide a prioritized list of the agency's "most-viewed or ... otherwise important" public and internal websites and digital services in compliance with:
- Section 3(a) applicable to new or redesigned websites, web-based form, web-based application, or digital service.
- 3(b) stating requirements for existing executive agency websites and digital services, and
- 3(c) providing requirements for internal digital services such as ensuring, to the greatest extent practicable, any Intranet established after the date of enactment of this Act conforms to the requirements described in subsection (a).
This report is structured to address each subsection accordingly.
New this year, we added additional sites. Though in previous reports, USAID focused exclusively on the most viewed and important public facing websites, this year, USAID added in this report information regarding all of its public facing websites identified in accordance with the requirements of OMB M-23-22. We plan on tracking and reporting on these additional sites going forward and measuring them against the IDEA criteria as well. We also plan on working with site owners to bring them to compliance.
We continue to note that USAID does not deliver services directly to the American people per se, but rather on behalf of the American people to the rest of the world. This is an important distinction, which explains our approach in responding to the requirements.
