Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Effective

This is the highest rating a program can achieve. Programs rated Effective set ambitious goals, achieve results, are well-managed and improve efficiency.
  • The program teaches effective ways to counter terrorist threats and meets its annual and long-term performance goals. The Department of State has developed a system to rate the anti-terrorism capabilities of foreign governments participating in the program to establish a baseline and monitor their progress.
  • Courses have been expanded to cover new threats. In addition to covering such areas as airport security, bomb-detection, hostage rescue, and crisis management, the program now covers emergent needs such as weapons of mass destruction (WMD) incident response.
  • This program is responsive to changing threats. Program plans are constantly reviewed in the context of new priorities as outlined by the Secretary of State's Coordinator for Counter-Terrorism.
