Performance and Accountability
"And most important, we must stay relentlessly focused on results - which means establishing baseline data, measuring progress,
being transparent about both our successes and our failures - learning from both and improving our approach as we go forward.
It is through this relentless dedication to results that we do justice to our motto, 'From the American people'".
- Dr. Rajiv Shah, USAID Administrator, March 3, 2010
Overview
Performance management represents the Agency's commitment to managing for results in order to achieve the best possible development outcomes.
USAID pioneered and continues to promote a culture of defining and organizing activities around the end result.
Key elements of performance management are the principles of transparency - providing the public with information about what the Agency is doing and accountability -
holding itself accountable to stakeholders by achieving results and maintaining the credibility of the Agency.

Management Performance
For USAID, the role of management performance is equally as important as the role of program performance in achieving the Agency's development goals.
Improvements in the functional areas of procurement management, workforce management, information management, financial management, administrative management,
and overseas management lead to improvements in the implementation of Agency's programs.

Budget and Spending
With the support of Congress, senior officials in the U.S. Government have made a significant commitment to foreign assistance through appropriations that have more than doubled since 2001.
USAID recognizes that with additional resources comes additional responsibility. We are committed to managing these appropriations in a transparent and accountable fashion as we carry out a
mission that reflects the generosity of the American people and improves the lives of millions worldwide.
