7.7.3: Strategic and Performance Planning

Re-engineer planning processes to align more closely our diplomatic and assistance priorities.

Other Information:

Planning is critical to achieve our foreign policy goals and to ensure accountability to Congress and the American people. The Department and USAID are re-engineering planning processes to align more closely our diplomatic and assistance priorities. Mission Strategic Plans (MSPs) will provide the overarching foreign policy basis for U.S. embassy and consulate activities for the budget year and beyond. Country Operational Plans will detail the use of foreign assistance funds for the implementation year. We will also look to integrate further the MSP and Country Operational Plan processes and underlying systems. The goals set forth in this joint Strategic Plan will serve as the basis for these annual plans.
