Subject: The Results Act: Observations on USAID's November 1996 Draft
Strategic Plan
On June 12, 1997, you asked us to review the draft strategic plans
submitted by the cabinet departments and selected major agencies for
consultation with the Congress as required by the Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993 (the Results Act [P.L. 103-62]). This
letter is our response to that request concerning the U.S. Agency for
International Development (USAID).
Objectives, Scope,
and Methodology
Our overall objective was to review and evaluate the latest available
version of USAID's draft strategic plan. Specifically, we (1) assessed the
draft plan's compliance with the Act's requirements and its overall quality,
(2) determined if USAID's key statutory authorities were reflected,
(3) identified whether discussions about cross-cutting functions and
interagency involvement were included, (4) determined if the draft plan
addressed major management problems, and (5) discussed USAID'S capacity
to provide reliable information about its operations and performance.
